The National Watercolor Society (NWS) was founded in California in 1920 and grew over the following century into a nationally recognized organization dedicated to encouraging excellence in water-media painting. Celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2020, approximately thirty works by NWS artists were selected for Visions Adjoin. The gallery below presents these selected works, showcasing a range of contemporary approaches to water-media painting by NWS artists.
