Strathmore Creative Contest Winners

Congrats to our Talented Strathmore Artists

We asked “What have you created with Strathmore?” and our artists answered. We received so many great entries in our Strathmore Winter 2015 Back to Class Contest. The Winners drew, sketched, colored and painted on Strathmore paper, on paper styles like Strathmore’s Artist Tiles, Strathmore 300 Series Bristol Pads, 300 Sketch Pads, or Strathmore 400 Series Watercolor Pads. Congrats to all of our winners and talented artists!

The Winners

First Place Winner by M. Jaganath “I’m using Strathmore Drawing 400 series (8×10”) and Canvas paper 300 series, for more than a year. I’m using this product to get better result for portrait, landscape; fine architect building sketch. The experience with Strathmore product is really awesome, it gives good texture, smoothness and shading/rendering and it’s really supports using my H and B graphite, obviously charcoal pencil as well. I will recommend this Strathmore product to the audiences, would definitely rejoice with the results. I uploaded my favorite sketch with linear perspective method which took me more than 20 hours but ends with tremendous output which I like the most. thanks to Strathmore and the crew members who build this product.“

Second Place Winner by Roman Pleitez “Strathmore is the only paper I use. I love the 400 series as well as the Bristol smooth. I have a popular Instagram account with over 220,000 followers where I share my art and every time someone asks me what paper I use, I always tell them Strathmore.”

Third Place Winner by Hannah C. “I am 8 years old and did this picture on Strathmore watercolor paper using ink, pencils for the background and branches and color pencils for the the bird. I really like how the paper makes the colors pop from both the dry and wet pencils. This is one of my favorite pictures that I did recently and hope you like it too…My mom says she loves the Strathmore paper quality and won’t let me use any other kind. And I think she is right!”
