Watercolor on yupo

An upcoming program for WVWS will focus on yupo. Becky Brody will demonstrate her techniques.

An artist-friend of a friend of mine also enjoys working on yupo. Judy Evenson lives in Northern California. Her blog is http://judyevenson.blogspot.com/ Type yupo in the search box (upper left) and it will pull up the posts with paintings on yupo.

You'll have to go there to see her work. I don't want to violate copyright by posting one of her paintings here. So go see her blog! And then come to the program scheduled for Tuesday, September 17!

Our Goals

1. To offer opportunities to learn new techniques through workshops, demonstrations, plein air paint outs, field trips, and media presentations.

2. To foster opportunities for artists to exhibit their work through shows both juried and non-juried, as well as other community local venues.

3.To publicize WVWS and other art events and opportunities through meetings, social media and traditional media.

4. To create accessible opportunities for young people to explore art.

5. To sustain a vibrant organization through active member participation in monthly meetings and collaborative leadership using individual talents.

Our History

The Wabash Valley Artist's Society began as the Wabash Valley Watercolor Society in 1989. After much consideration, the board and members voted to expand the organization to include multi- media, acrylics, oils and pastels in addition to watercolor, effective January 2015. The former WVWS, now the WVAS, has a rich history in the Lafayette, Indiana region. Local artists, in search of information, an opportunity to share their interest in painting, and the chance to exhibit their work, formed the Wabash Valley Watercolor Society in 1989. Many of the founding members were students of Barbara Gresham from the Greater Lafayette Museum of Art (now the Art Museum of Greater Lafayette). The inspiration and challenges of her teaching were the catalyst that sparked the society’s formation.
