Description
Hello watercolorists !
No, you don't have to be scared, this time we don't have a challenge for you, just a regular theme.
Some time ago we asked you which theme would you prefer and the most votes got "Night".
You voted, we announce it.
As you now know...
It's AQUACHALLENGE time!
Where were we? Oh, yes...
_______________________________
The THEME is:
NIGHT

VOTING:
Depending on the number of entries we will make 2 semi-final polls simultaneously, each will have max. of 10 artworks. The artworks will be placed in those polls in the order in which they were submitted.
We will ask you to choose from both semi-final polls the artwork which you like the most. The first 3 artworks which receive the most votes in each semi-final poll will go to the final poll where the winners will be chosen.
1st SEMI-FINAL poll -> 10 (or less) artworks to choose from -> top 3 go to final poll
2nd SEMI-FINAL poll -> 10 (or less) artworks to choose from -> top 3 go to final poll
--------------------------------------------------------------
FINAL poll -> 6 semi-final artworks to choose from -> 3 AquaChallenge winners
The time to vote for semi-final and final will be each 5 days.
In case there will be more than 20 entries, we will do as follows: AquaChallenge - HOW TO VOTE
Everyone has one vote - also the participants!
If you have any further questions, feel free to ask!
HAVE FUN, BE CREATIVE AND MOSTLY… BE A BOLD WATERCOLORIST!

I don't remember if I did such thing but you might be right. So.. my fault!
I submitted my artwork to the "Member Submissions" folder. It's called Deer sky .
If you could move it to the right folder I am going to be forever grateful for your help!

Oh I'm so glad it's "night" after all! I hope I'll find a free evening to do this Night can be really beautiful in watercolor

Hi , do you accept watercolor combined with some acryl ?
I'm not used to use only watercolor and for this reason I don't have some colors ... I have them but they are acryl .

TokyoMoonlight In reply to GeorgeXVII [2019-02-19 22:02:06 +0000 UTC]
Yes, but they have to be diluted with lots of water so they LOOK like watercolors...so acrylic washes are ok. It has to look transparent and not opaque if you know what I mean.

I could give llamas to the winners (if they didn't get one from me already).
And maybe I will participate; depends on the muse ...
