Watercolour Challenge 2017: #MakeASplash & Win �500
Posted by Cass Art on 7th Nov 2018
The Watercolour Challenge returns this spring, and this time there’s a twist…
Inspired by the Royal Watercolour Society exhibition 'Water Paper Paint' and Illustrator Veronica Ballart Lilja's new guide - 'If You're Bored With Watercolour Read This Book' - we want to 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. But now, we also want to know what inspires your love of watercolour.
What first drew you to the medium? How has your style developed with each technique? If you’re new to the medium, what encouraged you to start? Who are your influences?
Share your work with us on social media using the hashtag #MakeASplash with a quote about why you love watercolour for a chance to win £500 of Cass Art Vouchers.
