PVW, based in the Maryland/ Virginia/D.C. area, is a juried society of watercolor painters

We are a nonprofit organization that seeks to promote the art and excellence of watercolor painting.
Our members include many watercolor instructors and artists who exhibit at prominent galleries, museums, and nationally acclaimed shows. Some serve as jurors; others give demonstrations and programs for art and community groups.





 


Featured Artist for October - Margaret Huddy
 

My paintings are all about color and light. Having spent 60 years painting en plein air. My goal with my painting is to give the viewer a very visceral experience, the same experience I had when I was standing there painting. In my landscapes I want to express the feeling of the day, the warmth or cold, the wind or still air, sun or shadows. I get such joy when someone walks into my studio looks at my paintings and exclaims “Oh, the light!”  I paint with watercolor and acrylics. I use the acrylics more like watercolor, using watercolor brushes and often employ glazes.
