- Yes, this is an option as well.
- Do I have to use Schmincke watercolours?
- Yes, your submission must be mainly painted with Schmincke watercolours as it is a watercolour contest. However, it is also acceptable to work a bit in mixed media (e.g. include a white gel pen or acrylic marker to createhighlights or use Indian Ink for outlines).
- Which exact Schmincke product will be available in the contest set 2025?
- In the previous years we have always included Schmincke AKADEMIE Awuarell. We'll see and decide next year if we stick to this decision or change it.
- What can I do if I dont't know which Schmincke watercolours are included in my set?
- We have numbers printed on our watercolour pans which identify the series and colours. Of course you can also simply include the colour names, e.g. French Ultramarine. If you have a Schmincke Dotcard at home, you can alsoi compare colour swatches to identify your colours.
