Though it hardly seems possible, we’re currently preparing our annual Watercolor Society Winners’ Showcase feature—which will run in the January/February issue—wherein we publish the winning paintings from a year’s worth of watercolor society competitions, plus some conversations with winning artists from the larger societies. It’s my personal pleasure to get to chat with these artists and learn about the stories behind their award-winning works, their techniques and inspiration.

I found this video of the Western Federation of Watercolor Societies’ 32nd annual exhibition/16th annual Colorado Watercolor Society’s State Watermedia Exhibition just a few minutes ago. It’s a great behind-the-scenes look at what goes into putting one of these shows together.

Look for our February issue on newsstands Dec. 11!
