Strip back your palette and let tonal values take centre stage in our Monochrome Challenge. Using just one colour, show us how you can create depth, drama, and mood. Whether you favour bold contrasts or subtle gradients, this theme is a chance to explore how much you can convey without the distraction of a full spectrum of colours.
For inspiration, take a look at As Above, So Below by Sam Weeks, this challenge’s head image. To learn more about Sam’s artistic journey, visit pages 6–9 of the Summer 2024 issue of Paint & Create.
We’ll feature a selection of our favourite entries in the Spring edition of Paint & Create and on our social media channels.
Closing date: 1st March. Good luck!
Simply click on ‘Enter Challenge’ at the top of this page and follow the instructions from there.

If you have used another artists’ painting, tuition or photograph as your inspiration, please ensure you have gained the appropriate authorisation to publish the image and be sure to credit them accordingly – for example ‘after a painting by…’ or ‘from a photograph of…’
