Judith Becker is an experienced artist with dual degrees in design and education. She has recently moved to the Eastern Panhandle, but previously taught a variety of classes in Garrett County, Maryland. Judith specializes in painting with colored pencils, pastels and watercolors and often mixes her media for unusual effects. Her subjects mostly are botanical s and scenes from her travels. Her popular classes cover many art techniques targeted for both the beginner and the more experienced painter. She is the creator of a unique art form called “Spritzilism”, which involves using botanicals as templates for sprayed watercolor paint. The results produce interesting compositions with lots of sparkling colors and textures. She is now a new member of the Berkeley Arts Council, a member of the West Virginia Watercolor Society and is a juried artist at Tamarack, “The Best of West Virginia.”
Tuition for the workshop is $45. Registration is available at the Berkeley Art Works Gallery or online at www.berkeleyartswv.org/artworks/workshops/
