The Malaysian Watercolour Society (formerly known as Malaysian Watercolour Organisation)was established in 1992 and is currently helmed by Puan Aminah Abdul Rahman. The organisation has successfully organised numerous exhibitions both locally and internationally.
MWS 2012 Exhibition, which runs from 17th until 31st March 2012, marks MWS' 8th exhibition with us at NN Gallery. This exhibition will showcase recent works by 31 members of the society (MWS).
The quiet fashion of watercolours is ideal for capturing everyday scenes. A spot painter would find a location and begin a narrative of his surroundings. A favourite amongst the members of this society are rural, floral and fauna, figurative and picturesque scenes. With strong affiliation to our roots and heritage they continue to paint scenes that are reminiscent of early years past, life in the kampungs, the going-ons of local scenes and historical landmarks and buildings.
