It brings people together and IWS Canada’s mission is to do just that – to unify those who live to create and also those who love art. Help us to spread some love around our world today.

Our Osmosis event has been very successful. Our members have worked hard to help to share our love of and hopefully pass on our enthusiasm for watercolour to the younger generation!

Our IWS Canada members buddied with youth and infused their love of Watercolour to the younger generation. We had over 50 youth around Canada, Aged between 3 and 18 years old, who loved their introduction to watercolour. Have a look through this album to see some of things they have been doing.
