JWS General Meeting
Tuesday, March 25, 2025, 6pm to 8pm
Cypress Village, Egret Room
Guest Artist Demo: Linda F. Hawkins
"TEXTURE! You can’t “paint” this!"  

Linda F. Hawkins will demonstrate how to create texture in your watercolor paintings using charcoal washes. This process creates texture that cannot be accomplished by simply painting it. Using powdered charcoal, water and a crummy paint brush she will show you how she created the texture in her award-winning piece, The Wild Hawk to the Windswept Sky. Let’s explore and have some fun! 

Linda has been an artist for as long as she can remember. She is in-spired by the beauty and gifts of nature around her whether at home, on the St. Johns River or traveling the Caribbean Islands. Her favorite subjects are what she calls “God’s Little Treasures”, the things we often pass by during our busy day without seeing. It helps her remember to take time to smell the roses each day and to savor and be thankful for each moment shared with the world the Lord has created for our pleasure.
