Few awards in American watercolor painting carry the weight of the Watercolor USA Honor Society’s Lifetime Achievement Award — and this year, it is going to exactly the right person. Laurin McCracken, one of the most respected and beloved figures in the medium, will receive the honor at the annual meeting of Watercolor USA this Friday, May 29, 2026.
Next week, fellow watercolorist Kelly Eddington sits down with Laurin for a Q&A — you won’t want to miss it.
