Women in Watercolor Competition

SPECIAL INVITATION FOR ALL THE LADIES IN THE GROUP.

Hello to all Ladies in IWS CANADA/BC and beyond,

I was sent an invitation to participate in the WOMEN IN WATERCOLOR (WIW) ONLINE JURIED INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION and I thought you might want to try this!…. Thank you to Lorraine Simonds, BC/ IWS Member that will also be participating as a Jury for this exciting competition amongst other members of the Jury from different countries.

This information reached me after I had already sent the Newsletter, but since the entries start on April 1, I thought it was important to send it to you right away.

Please read the instructions carefully to know the restrictions. This is an International Competition and I know we have a lot of female members that are very  high caliber Women Artists to place well and make our mark.

No need to be a WIW member but there is a fee to register. There are 5 categories and you can submit once in each category: ABSTRACTS, ANIMAL & WILDLIFE, LANDSCAPE & WATERSCAPES, PORTRAIT & FIGURES and STILL LIFE & FLORALS

Best of luck to all participants, I look forward to seeing your beautiful work.

Thank you!

IWS Canada – World Watercolour Day 2024

Hi everyone, here’s the raw footage from our zoom meeting for World Watercolour Day, hosted by Luan Quach at VAM and Ian Wright on Zoom.

We had a few technical hiccups, so we may chop up the video a bit and re-release some highlights in the next week, but here is the uncut recording of the zoom meeting for your perusal. A great time was had by all, and lots of exciting guests and demos along with a sneak peak at Visual Arts Mississauga, and a Happy Birthday IWS cake for those who attended in person.
