The nights are drawing in and Christmas is just around the corner; let the Royal Institute of Oil Painters bring a splash of colour to your home this December.

Selecting the best of contemporary oil painting, the Institute's annual exhibition has almost 300 paintings in oil on display, all of which are for sale.

As the only major national art society that is devoted exclusively to oil painting, the exhibition features a wide variety of contemporary landscape, figurative and still life paintings by some of the finest established artists working in oil today, alongside work by non members, all who are eligible for the prizes and awards on offer including the Phyllis Roberts Award of £2000 for a promising young painter.

There will also be a special display of up-and-coming younger oil painters as part of the exhibition, highlighting artists we expect big things from in the years to come. Winsor & Newton awarded James Bland the Winsor & Newton Oil Painters Award (artists aged 35 or under) of £1,000 for his work Reclining Figure, Evening.

For those who are aspiring oil painters themselves, there are a number of workshops and demonstrations to get involved in during the exhibition. Details can be found on our website: www.mallgalleries.org.uk
