[CLOSED] Cass Art Watercolour Challenge 2018

[PLEASE NOTE: THE 2018 EDITION OF THE CASS ART WATERCOLOUR CHALLENGE HAS NOW ENDED]

The Watercolour Challenge returns, to welcome the spring season with a splash of colour.

Inspired by the delightful illustrations by artist Lauren Temaki that make up the Manifesto card game, we’re bringing you a challenge that will encourage everyone to pick up a paintbrush and start experimenting with watercolour this season.

Since the competition first launched in 2013, we’ve loved seeing our channels flooded with your watercolour artworks, and hearing what inspires your love of watercolour.

This year, we’re giving you even more chances to win, with one artist every week receiving £100 of Cass Art vouchers from a prize pot of £500. We will be running the challenge for 5 weeks - until 13th May, so you have plenty of time to get creative.

How to take part

You can use any watercolour materials you like, whether it's water-soluble pencils, the more traditional watercolour half pans or on-the-go mediums such as Winsor & Newton’s watercolour markers

Perhaps you combine watercolour with other media? Are inks and fine liners your thing, or do you work in collage to layer textures? Whatever your style, start experimenting with your favourites and share your artwork for your chance to win.

Post your work on your Twitter, Instagram or Facebook profile as a public post. 

Guidelines below for each channel:

Instagram: Tag @CassArt1984 with an image of your watercolour work and use the hashtag #MakeASplash2018 + tell us why you love working with watercolour in the caption.

Twitter: Tag @CassArt with an image of your watercolour work using the hashtag #MakeASplash2018 + tell us why you love working with watercolour in the caption.

Facebook: Tag the Cass Art Facebook page and include the hashtag #MakeASplash2018  + tell us why you love working with watercolour in the caption. Make sure your post is set to "public" so we can find your entry!

What can you win

The weekly winner will be announced on our Instagram, Twitter and Facebook channels every Tuesday. They will receive a £100 Cass Art voucher to spend online or in-store. 

So what are you waiting for? Pick up a brush, stick or marker, get painting and share your artworks online. We look forward to seeing what you create!
