Creative Saturdays

Experiment with bold lines, bright colors, and playful patterns during this free art-making activity in AMFA’s Windgate Art School hosted by Mid-Southern Watercolorists.

Take inspiration from the detailed drawings on view in the 64th Young Arkansas Artists exhibition to create your own vibrant composition that pops with personality and design using ink and watercolor.

About Mid-Southern Watercolorists

Mid-Southern Watercolorists (MSW) is a non-profit organization incorporated in Little Rock, Arkansas, in 1970. It was founded by five artists: Doris Williamson Mapes, Bruce R. Anderson, Josephine Graham, Edwin C. Brewer, and Catherine Tharp Altvater. The organization has approximately 200 members in 13 states, Puerto Rico, and Japan.

Their goal is to enrich the stature of watermedia and encourage the recognition of its significance in our culture. This organization furthers the interest of painters and patrons by its programs and by its competitive and non-competitive exhibits. It also provides opportunities for study by art students and others engaged in art making and in appreciation of arts.
