Botanical Art, Watercolour Too Fine Art Societies

Can anybody nation me why the really best botanical artists who operate inward watercolour tend to restrain fine art social club membership to Botanical Art Societies? 

I see a lot of fine art social club exhibitions each year.  I give-up the ghost on wondering why merely about of the close technically skilled purpose of watercolour that I come across tin only survive flora inward the exhibitions past times botanical artists.

For example, why create then few botanical artists who operate only inward watercolour bring together those fine art societies which focus on paradigm inward watercolour?

  • Is in that place a perception alongside botanical artists that watercolour societies create non conduct keep botanical paradigm inward watercolour seriously?
  • Do watercolour societies non appreciate the score of excellence achieved past times merely about of the best botanical artists?
  • Is it a sex "thing"?
Who are these vagabonds fifty-fifty to a greater extent than transient than we?

This inquiry has been prompted because I've begun to discovery an increase inward botanical fine art beingness exhibited inward (non-botanical) fine art social club exhibitions.  For example, UKCPS is displaying to a greater extent than as well as to a greater extent than botanical fine art inward coloured pencils.

While it is possible to come across merely about first-class examples of botanical fine art on display, inward full general it seems to me that the criterion of operate inward watercolour in other exhibitions ofttimes seems somewhat adrift from the standards achieved inward exhibitions past times botanical artists.  There are of course of written report merely about notable exceptions - Fay Ballard RWS beingness one.  I wishing in that place were more....

Two questions for you:
  • Do y'all know of botanical artists working inward watercolour who present exterior inward fine art social club exhibitions
  • Do y'all conduct keep whatsoever thought why botanical artists working inward watercolour stick to the botanical fine art societies?
