Artists were invited to upload images of work in watercolour, acrylic or gouache to the competition page. Submitted works were then subjected to a week long exposure to the dreaded public vote. Gerry Porcher&#8217;s sensitive watercolour painting of an anchored sailing boat at sunset sailed ahead into the lead, and won Gerry the esteemed prize of a set of 48 Shin Han Pass Paints. The Pass Paints are a hybrid of watercolour and gouache, allowing for both transparent and opaque watercolour techniques. We asked Gerry about his work and whether he&#8217;s excited about trying out this unique medium.<\/p>\n<p><em>Lisa: Can you tell us a little bit about the subject matter of your competition entry?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Gerry: My competition painting, &#8220;Calm before the Storm&#8221; was on opportunity to express the ever changing colours in the sky\u00a0which can be colourful and atmospheric, \u00a0that combined with a love of boats, water and reflections was all that was required.<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_22414\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22414\"

working with it?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Gerry:\u00a0My preferred choice of medium is watercolour, it is difficult to master, but once I had \u00a0learned the basic skills loved painting with it.\u00a0Watercolour is a continual learning experience which is very rewarding if you put the practice time in, exploring the techniques, tones and textures on dry or wet paper.\u00a0You can have great results and produce \u00a0paintings that people will enjoy.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Lisa: What are your thoughts about painting with these new PASS paints &#8211; a mix of qualities that allow for both transparent and opaque painting?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Gerry: I&#8217;m looking forward to Painting with the new ShinHan PASS, I understand from reviews I read that it is quite different to the watercolour\u00a0paint, but I am excited at the prospect of exploring the different qualities offered by PASS.<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_22433\"
