Seascapes and landscapes are such great subjects for watercolour! We loved seeing all the beautiful paintings that were submitted. Thank you to everyone who entered. After much consideration we are pleased to announce that the Jackson’s judging panel has chosen ‘Hidden Path’ by Sophie Rodinov as the overall winner of the Summer Seascapes and Landscapes Watercolour Competition. We chose this painting because of its painterly qualities and the sense of atmosphere – you almost feel like you are on a walk in the damp woods! We also have two People’s Choice Awards that have been decided by public vote – thank you to everyone who participated in the voting. All three winners will receive impressive Schmincke Horadam Watercolour prizes.
