Watercolour Society Annual Sale

This is a year (2020) when things have to be done differently within our Society due to Covid 19. It’s not all doom and gloom for our artists, as some amazing Watercolour Paintings have been done during this time.  

The usual Watercolour Annual Exhibition held for the past 34 years will this year be different.  It will be called a Watercolour Society Annual Sale.  The difference being there will be no judging and no Prizes. The best of the best of our Watercolour Artists will display their work for sale to Art lovers and enthusiasts to purchase.   

The Watercolour Annual Sale is for our members to display and have the opportunity to SELL their artwork.
