Watercolor West promotes the worldwide appreciation for and the use of purely transparent watercolor in fine art in several ways. We sponsor one International Open Juried Exhibition for transparent watercolor paintings each year. We offer educational workshops and organize demonstrations on the use of transparent watercolors by leading artists. We contribute to the artistic education community by sponsoring scholarships that will promote the appreciation for the beauty and relevance of transparent watercolors. We keep both our membership and the public informed through our interactive website which includes a quarterly newsletter and all pertinent information about the exhibits, the demonstrations, the workshops and current events. It is our sincerest hope and vision that through our efforts fine art throughout the world will always include paintings using transparent watercolor.
