The experts Contestants' gallery Find out more
The Watercolour Challenge Club was set up to give viewers a special link with the programme. Joining it will give you a chance to obtain discounts on materials, books and museum visits, and also to find out more about the contestants and experts in the club's quarterly magazine, Brush Strokes.

Pots of pigment
There are two types of membership: Single (for one person only) at £20 per year and Joint (any two people) at £25. On joining you will receive a membership pack containing the following:
  • the current edition of Brush Strokes
  • a membership card, a pin badge and a car sticker
  • the Directory of Associated Sites – a list of museums and galleries across Britain where your membership card will gain you benefits such as free or discounted entry and savings on items on sale.
(Joint membership will provide just one copy of the magazine but multiples of all the other goodies.)

In Brush Strokes you'll find painting tips, master classes and news from behind the scenes of Watercolour Challenge – plus competitions offering big prizes such as painting holidays to Morocco or Italy. For a closer look at the magazine, you can download and view a sample spread.

For study at home, the book club offers massive savings on books concerned with watercolour technique and there are regular offers on videos, equipment and magazine subscriptions.

The Watercolour Challenge Club is not yet a year old and it's expanding fast in both membership and ambition. The latest developments in Brush Strokes include a Member’s Gallery, where the paintings of a selected club member will be published and discussed. The magazine also offers big discounts on artists' materials, a prize for the star letter on the Letters Page, and a Web Watch pointing the way to internet sites of interest to watercolourists. And there are more plans unfolding…
