Meldra Driscoll

Watercolors, Ink Drawings & Fabric Painting

Meldra Driscoll, Artist and Educator

Artist Statement —
Meldra Driscoll has created art from an early age and specializes in teaching watercolor to beginners. She states that “the beginner who realizes they can create art, is her inspiration for teaching”, and vows to make the experience of learning, a peaceful, unique, and relaxing new skill for anyone wanting to put in practice time to learn. Meldra has been teaching art to beginners for the past 45 years and loves to watch them develop under her direction.

Meldra states that her “artwork comes in a variety of styles featuring watercolors, ink drawings and fabric painting. Meldra has taught at art conventions, participated in Gallery showings, and held classes in many places in the USA. She taught fabric painting at The Unicorn Castle in Yakima before moving for her profession as a Respiratory Therapist. When she retired, she chose to come back to Yakima.

Watercolors & Prints…

The value of watercolor painting for me is the layering. All the methods of achieving watercolor depth in a painting… salt, wet on wet, luminosity, splatter, etc., can easily be accomplished with layers.  My watercolor methods of painting use wet on wet washes and transparent colors.

Painting on Fabric…

Inktense Watercolors also produce vivid designs on fabric. Whether it’s a pre-made garment such as a sweatshirt or a material for framing, I get the same brilliant results.
