What is the prize?

Our new sponsor, Sketchbox, has contributed one of their most popular watercolor boxes! They have also given our Facebook group a special discount of 15%. All customers can use the code WELCOME15 at checkout and get 15% off your order. You may use the code as many times as you’d like until Monday, May 23, 2022. Check out their site: SketchBox

Details on this Premium box. This box is all about watercolor powder! Our Premium box features a 4-set of SketchBox Signature watercolor powders in navy, grape, orange, and turquoise. This powder is truly a magical medium that plays well with all wet media. The powders are made up of multiple pigments to create the final color. Mix with water to use as a watercolor or sprinkle it on a wet surface for a fun blooming effect! To round out the watercolor powder palette, we’ve also included a custom TCW Color Sparx powder in bougainvillea. We’ve also included a 10ml tube of Rembrandt watercolor in titanium white which can be used to create a variety of tints or to add a little more opacity to the powder pigments. For outlines and detail work, we included a Copic Multiliner in lavender, .5mm. To put powder to paper we’ve included a SketchBox Signature filbert #4 brush. Finally, our surface this month is a custom 4×6″ Magnani 1404 Portofino cotton pad.
