Hahnemuehle Calendar Competition: We want your 'Watercolour Abstracts' (English Version)

The entry deadline is approaching: hobbyist painters and professionals alike can send in their paintings until June 30th. The works that we want for the Hahnemühle Art Calendar 2012 are abstract watercolours. "This painting technique has enormous potential if it isn´t reduced just to landscape and still life paintings. It's a young, modern topic and there are many ways of approaching it," says Simon Waller, General Manager Hahnemuehle FineArt UK. "Many works featuring shapes, colours and fantasy have already been sent in and we are looking forward to receiving more of your works."

As was the case in previous years, the competition has been announced internationally. This year, Austrian painter Heinz Schweizer is participating for the third time. He entered a series of mountain abstractions. "The imposing mountain world of my country features subjects that result in a major picture abstraction, with my approach," he explains. "The pictures are painted on the rough version of the Cornwall Watercolour Paper which allows for a particularly intense blending of the colours."

Entry rules and conditions plus the winning entries from past years can be seen on our web site at www.hahnemuehle.com under the heading 'Information'.
