Linda Baker Workshop - Week #2

The Baltimore Watercolor Society is pleased and excited to host  Linda Baker in a second four-day workshop from Monday, June 16, 2014 through Thursday, June 19, 2014 at the Hawthorn Center in Columbia, MD.  (The first Linda Baker workshop week, June 10-13, completely filled up in less than eight hours after registrations opened, so we are fortunate in being able to have Linda stay over for a second week and teach a second workshop for 25 additional BWS members.)

Linda is an internationally-known, award-winning signature member of AWS, NWS, TWS (as well as several other watercolor societies) and her workshops are always in high demand.  As a professional watercolor artist, Linda is intrigued by the gentle translucence of nature.  She considers her work to be a contemporary approach to traditional subject matter.  Striving to simplify the complicated while seeing the unique in the ordinary, she captures the essence  of gentle scenes with harmonious strokes. Visit Linda's website to read more about her and view her recent paintings.

The price for the workshop is $300 for BWS members and associates and $325 for non-BWS members.  Participants will be limited to 25 people and the workshop cannot be split with another person. 

The event is 80% refundable until April 30, 2014, but no refunds will be given after that date unless the spot is filled from the waiting list.
