Each award package was prepared to give the winning artists watercolor tools they can bring into their own creative practice.
Celebrating Women in Watercolor
At FUUMUUI, we believe a brush is more than a tool. It is how an artist's voice reaches the page.
We are proud to support Women in Watercolor and its celebration of women artists working in watercolor. Being part of the 2026 competition gave us the opportunity to recognize artists from different backgrounds, countries, and creative perspectives.
Congratulations to all of the 2026 participants and award recipients, and thank you to Women in Watercolor for bringing this international watercolor community together.
