Juror of Selection and Judge of Awards
David R. Smith, AWS, NWS
David R. Smith, AWS, NWS, a signature member of the American Watercolor Society and National Watercolor Society, served as Juror and Judge. He received the highest recognition awarded by the Transparent Watercolor Society of America – the Skyledge Award, as well as numerous “Best of Show” awards for both his studio and plein air work. David first learned Chinese Brush Painting, then fell in love with Western watercolor techniques. With over 25 years of experience as a public-school teacher, he is skilled at breaking down complex concepts and skills into easily learned chunks and now enjoys helping workshop participants find success with watercolor. As much as he loves to paint, he has found sharing his watercolor passion through instruction even more gratifying.
