• 5 day option on March 12-16 for $450.

Judi Betts, of NWS and AWS acclaim, has attained an international reputation for her transparent watercolor paintings. In addition, she was awarded “Master of Watercolor” by the Transparent Watercolor Society of America and formally recognized by the Watercolor USA Honor Society. Her paintings have been exhibited in Nanjing, Shanghai, and Japan as well as throughout various American museums, universities, corporate, and private collections. As the juror of the 2012 International Exhibition, she brings a wealth of experience in judging national/regional/international competitions.

Judi’s workshop “Creative Composition” – will explore concepts, techniques, and expression in watercolor. The course is designed to be a fun experience while learning with this master of luminosity. Judi does not impose her way of working on others, but encourages the strengths of each individual as they pursue their own goals. There will be daily demonstrations, personalized and individual guidance, and review of individuals’ work. Each day Judi presents a challenge, often using it as an element of surprise…SOMETHING EXCITING.

Don’t wait - check out her website soon to see why we are so excited to have her come to WAS-H!

If you can’t attend the workshop, be sure to attend the March 11, 2012 Monthly Meeting at 1:30pm when Judi will be our guest demo artist!
