The Wisconsin Watercolor Society was founded in 1952 by a group of Wisconsin artists. It was the first Wisconsin art organization to be devoted exclusively to watercolor painting. Its purpose now as then has always been to demonstrate and exhibit meaningful development in the medium of watercolor and to serve as a catalyst for those genuinely interested in watercolor.

Artist Biography

“I love the light and color of watercolor–and I love flowers,” Jean Tobin observes, adding, “Poet Elizabeth Bishop talked about creating ‘real toads in imaginary gardens,’ and I am pleased by a combination of realistic detail and the atmosphere of a dream. Presently I am exploring wet-on-wet techniques, and enjoy blending colors and creating contrasts.”
