It’s been really nice seeing how some of you have been using the tutorials in the magazine. If you have a go at any of them, please remember to post them in your gallery. It doesn’t matter if you have used your own images and just applied the techniques - it’s still lovely to see what you do with the information!

Hello to you all. Just a quick note to say the competition link is temporarily out of order, but all will be back to normal on Monday. Many apologies for the delay!

Upon approving the images this morning, I happened to notice that we are now over the 6,000 mark! A massive congratulations and thanks to you all for sharing your Painter creations with us. It is always a pleasure to see what new images have been added and it’s great to see how you are all improving. I look forward to seeing the next thousand!
