Purpose

The purpose of the Knoxville Watercolor Society shall be to educate the members as well as the community to an understanding and acceptance of watercolor and water media as a significant art form. For this purpose, watercolor/water media is defined as the use of aqueous media applied on paper or paper mounted board and left unvarnished. This excludes the use of impasto well as oil based media and encaustics. Any use of collage must be as an original supportive element prepared by the artist using aqua media.
