Watercolor Society of AlabamaPromoting and supporting watermedia since 1939
Watercolor Society of Alabama began in 1939 with an exciting vision to promote, create and inspire painters in the art of watercolor media. We embrace that vision by holding juried watercolor competitions each year: WSA Annual National Exhibition and Statewide Alabama Members Showcase.
We offer workshops taught by nationally and internationally known artists. Vibrant Newsletters, published quarterly, keep members informed and connected.
Don Andrews is a nationally known watercolor artist and workshop instructor. He has conducted painting workshops throughout United States, Canada, Mexico, Europe, and Africa for over 30 years. Don is an active member and past Board Director of the American Watercolor Society. His paintings have received numerous awards in national watercolor competitions, including three awards from the American Watercolor Society, and two Best of Show awards from the New England Watercolor Society.
Don Andrews is the author of the books, “Interpreting the Figure in Watercolor”, “Interpreting the Landscape in Watercolor”, and “Rough Sketches: Short Stories of a Traveling Artist.” He created two DVD workshop sets that are based on what he teaches in his workshops to include figures in watercolor, watercolor landscapes, and making watercolor glow. He also is featured in the Watson Guptill publication “Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Water-color” and North Light’s new book, “Confident Color.” He has had numerous feature articles published in America Artist magazine, and the Watercolor issue of American Artists.
