Oil Residency in London

How do you fancy being the artist in residence at Winsor & Newton? 

Last week I discovered an Oil Residency in London is being offered in London in 2020 by Winsor & Newton.

It was launched on Thursday at the Winsor & Newton "Discover Oil Colour" event at the annual exhibition of the Royal Institute of Oil Painters at the Mall Galleries.

The thing is I can't find any reference to this specific Residency Online online (although it does appear that W&N have previously offered a residency. It's not on

• EITHER the Winsor & Newton website for the UK
• OR the Royal Institute of Oil Painters website 

So I've decided to print off my rather crumpled, folded launch guide that I was given and give you the email address for further enquiries.
