To kick off the 3rd International Watercolour Exhibition, the Watercolour Society are hosting a watercolour Plein Air competition where any artists working in watercolour can join to compete for generous prizes.
This competition will give you the opportunity to view the city through the artists eyes and see how watercolour is such a perfect medium to capture the heart and soul of a place.
Plein air paintings are painted on location as artists aim to capture the light exactly as it is at that moment in time as a snapshot in watercolour.
How to participate
Whether you are a seasoned painter or newbie, just as long as you work in watercolour on the day. Register here.
Where to watch
Artists enrolled to participate will be dotted around the CBD with their easels and paints capturing buildings, people, trees, shops, and alleyways.
