Each year the Iowa Watercolor Society (IWS) Annual Meeting includes a painting demonstration by a guest artist. This year we learned from, and painted along with, internationally-known watercolorist Andy Evansen. We made a value study first, then painted three values in color, on our way to a completed painting.
Our guest artist also selects the previously-submitted paintings which will travel to art centers around Iowa during the upcoming year. See IWS’s Traveling Show page for the 2025–2026 schedule!
The IWS Annual Meeting is a great way to meet with fellow watercolor artists and see their work.
