Susie Short, Watercolor Artist and Teacher (Author, Photographer)

Born and raised in the Texas Hill Country Susie Short's country roots are reflected in the subjects she enjoys painting. Working primarily in transparent watercolor her paintings cover a wide range of interests that includes traditionally realistic landscapes, flowers, wildflowers, and many other subjects found in nature.
Once bitten by the watercolor bug, Susie started taking classes and workshops from as many teachers as she could find regionally. As a result she was exposed to many different styles and techniques which she combined to created her own unique style of painting. For a season of her watercolor career she successfully entered local, regional, state and international competitions. Like many other artists she shared the ups and downs of acceptance and rejection associated with the competition circuit. Fortunately, she gained recognition and was awarded for her artistic talent.
What Susie does with her artistic talent demonstrates her proficiency in the challenging medium of watercolor. Susie's versatility and energetic dedication to learn and encourage others has made her popular among both art instructors and students. As an enthusiastic teacher Susie enjoys sharing her passion for watercolor with others by teaching watercolor classes and workshops. She took advantage of technology, taught online classes, and successfully began making instructional DVDs on painting with watercolor.
