During the summer, the online magazine Painters Online (www.painters-online.co.uk) has been inviting individuals and art societies to enter a HeptARThlon – an Olympic-themed painting competition.

Individuals could select a medium and a theme from the lists below and submit a single artwork, or ‘Go for Gold’ by submitting 7 paintings. A special prize was offered for the art club submitting the best collection covering each medium and theme. Macclesfield Art Group has submitted a group entry, with paintings from 7 of our members, in all 7 media, covering all 7 themes - we await the judging with interest and fingers crossed. The submitted paintings are shown below, and our thanks go to the artists involved.

HeptARThlon media
  • Acrylics
  • Watercolour
  • Oils
  • Graphite pencil
  • Mixed media
  • Coloured pencil
  • Pastels
HeptARThlon themes
  • In the spirit of the long jump – any subject involving leaping or springing
  • Paint fast and loose to win the 200m!
  • Like the javelin event – objects that are sharp or pointed, or point the way
  • To reflect the high jump – paint anything that involves height or high places
  • In the spirit of the hurdles – depict figures or animals climbing or jumping
  • A subject that portrays ‘slow and steady', which you might be for the 800m
  • And finally, like the shot putt – paint anything ‘round and heavy’
For further information about the competition, see: Painters-Online HeptARThlon. Entries can be seen at HeptARThlon Entries
