The finalists for the Cover Competitions have been chosen. The winners for each magazine will be announced in the print editions of upcoming issues of American Artist, Watercolor, and Drawing. The finalists are currently being interviewed by American Artist's staff members, and excerpts from these conversations, as well as the selected artwork, will appear both in the print and online versions of the magazines.
