First Place in Skyhawk Arts contest!
Congratulations, Jananee, on your win!
Here's what Jananee had to say about her experience...
"I'm happy to tell you that I have won the contest conducted by the Canvas Manufacturing Company called Skyhawk Arts here in India 😊. I submitted a Portrait of a White Bengal Tiger, since I had used up my PAC I wasn't able to send it in for PAC, but I used the suggestions and feedback in the PAC from last year's Max the magnificent wolf 🐺 lesson.. it is you who created the interest in me to do animal paintings, you made me believe that I can do them well. My painting was chosen as the winner. This is the first time I am winning something for my Art. All because of you 🥰. You have given me the confidence to do more Paintings and the support and encouragement I receive from our facebook group had made me realise that I should share my art with the world. That's why I'm on Instagram sharing my Art. I'm forever grateful to you ❤️❤️"
