Autumn Vibes

Autumn — the season, maybe, mostly affecting the emotions of the artist. For some, autumn is a quiet sadness, withering, a harbinger of future death, and for other artists, the theme of autumn is an opportunity to use all possible natural colors in your work.
What does autumn mean for your creativity?

We are excited to introduce the Autumn Vibes art competition. All artists 18 and older are encouraged to submit their work in any medium, style, and genre. 
Acceptable mediums include all traditional art media (e.g., oil, watercolor, acrylic, pastel, mixed media, gouache, egg tempera, pen and ink; drawing media such as graphite, charcoal, colored pencils, scratch board, markers, metal point), digital painting, arts and crafts (beadwork, pottery, embroidery, floristry, batik, stained glass, two-dimensional collage and fabric art as well, etc.).

Each participant of the competition receives his personal page on the UPWARD gallery. This page displays works that the artist submitted for participation in competitions, short biography text and artist statement, links to the artist's website, as well as links to social media accounts, interview with the artist.

The illustration uses a fragment of the work First Touch of Autumn of William Merritt Chase, USA.
