Well this is one of those questions that have more than one answer....

FIRST:

The transparent nature of watercolor allows the artist to create paintings that glow as the white of the paper shines through the paint. And, there is something magical that happens when paint colors are allowed to mix on the paper.  The nature of watercolor opens up many possibilities. Its quick drying time allows it to be very practical.

SECONDLY:

21st century paint companies have created great pigments that enable the artist to add rich darks and opaque passages to their work. Additionally, the availability of iridescent and metallic paints has created a wide range of possibilities.

THIRDLY:

Watercolor lends itself to many different techniques which produce random effects. The textures that result can add interest and sparkle to the artist work. Clark County is rich with artists who are expressing themselves in exciting experimental ways.

FINALLY:

Finally Clark County has an active and supportive community of Watercolor painters.  From painting societies to critique groups, from workshops to enthusiastic classes, the exchange of ideas and encouragement is continuous.
