Winners of the 'Draw This in Your Style' Challenge: What Wonderful Works of Art!

Earlier last month, we asked you to take part in our 'Draw This In Your Style' challenge, that went out on Instagram. We asked you to replicate a reference photo of St Cuthberts Mill, in your own style, meaning you had full creative reign as long as you created the piece on our paper.

Thank you so much to everyone who took part, it warmed our hearts to see so many of you have a go and get involved. If you would like to check out the entries, please visit the hashtag #dtiysstcuthbertsmill on Instagram. 

It was so difficult to choose our winners as each piece truly had so much effort and creativity put into them. However, we did eventually come to a decision... 

OUR WINNERS

@waldfrau_art


This piece by artist @waldfrau art makes perfect use of tone and depth to shine a beautiful light on the front of the mill, and we felt it was a perfect use of watercolours. We especially love the purple flowers that she decided to include. Can you believe that she doesn't draw buildings that often? 

@alma_colours

Artist @alma_colours paints this delightful piece on Saunders Waterford. We love how sunny and warm the atmosphere looks in the depiction and we really love those details on the bricks. 

@sabirinot

Our final winner is @sabirinot, who has created this visually interesting and quirky piece using black ink and watercolour. We love how he has given a modern twist on our old mill, and given us a twisty chimney at the same time!
