WAS-H hosts two major workshops each year with visiting artists. The workshops are held in conjunction with the International Watermedia Exhibition (IWE) in March and the Annual Members Exhibit (AME) in October. The visiting artist is also the juror for the corresponding exhibit.  

The benefit to members is a nationally known artist comes to WAS-H so members don't need to travel to take a workshop from a favorite artist. On occasion, WAS-H is able to secure additional visiting artists to offer a workshop in another time of the year.

    Soon Y. Warren Watercolor Workshop: Vibrant Watercolors 

    March 7-10, 2022

    In this 4-day Workshop, students will learn to paint beautiful, detailed images with vibrant watercolors.  Soon uses a step-by-step process to walk students through the painting process.  Students select their preferred references, which includea cut crystal bowl with floral or fruits. This workshop can be attended by students at all levels.  Digital reference photos, drawings, and step-by-step images will be available for students so they can follow at their own pace.  After a painting demonstration of each step, participants work according to their skill level and experience to complete their own paintings. The class will concentrate on technique, the concept of color theory, composition, and color values. 

    The workshop will include:

    • Glazing and washing techniques to create a luminous under painting

    • How to approach a painting
    • How to incorporate the concept of color theory and color relationships into a painting
    • Discussion and critiques will follow during workshop session
