Include the topic hashtag in your Watercolor – Beginners and Beyond Facebook group post: #statues

Deadline June 3, 2022, 11:59 pm ET

This challenge is to paint a statue, monument, or headstone. There are plenty of subjects around: human, animal, fantasy. Here are a few reference photos you may use. Graham will provide more later.

What is the prize?

The prize for one random winner will be a one-year subscription to Graham Berry’s courses: Paint with Graham. There are over 84 full tutorials available immediately with a new tutorial added every 2 weeks. His painting style is perfect for both beginner and experienced artists.

If you’d like to try a tutorial for free, sign up here. I learned so much from this free tutorial about using a limited palette, creating warm light, and to allow the paint to “do its thing” and not fiddle with it too much.
