Terrence Terry Madden

Prior to Terry's TV show, I knew nothing whatsoever about watercolor...except that I knew I had to learn how to paint with watercolor! I always looked forward to watching and learning from Terry Madden's Watercolor Workshop TV program! I met Terry and Judy when they visited where I live and the watercolor group to which I belonged hosted their workshop. I was delighted to meet them in person, after having been in contact with them regarding the workshop plans. Before that all occurred, I...

I often go to church with a white paint brush in my suit pocket...my watercolor guru! Never forgotten....

My most studied water color artist, so many thanks my great mentor/instructor, in my heart forever.

I took 3 workshops from Terry and got to know him well through my Terry Madden instructor. During his two workshops in TOledo, OH, I helped he and Judy set up for the workshops. I always enjoyed his enthusiasm, and his happy accidents, of which I've had in my own painting. I'm saddened to discover he has passed. Now he can "help" God paint the sunsets and the sunrises, with his right hand firmly stuck in his pants pocket. May his memory be eternal

To a very beloved watercolor mentor, and his wonderful wife. Thank you. With a brush in my pocket and a very special service this weelend, specificly remebering my mentor. Always in my heart. Love to all the family.

Like many, Terry was a great influence on me with watercolor painting. I began watching him on PBS and then I took two of his workshops where I also met Judy. Two truly wonderful people! I am saddened to hear that both have passed and send my love to his family. You were blessed to have such wonderful leaders in your family.

I had the distinct privilege of meeting Terry at the annual sidewalk Art Festival in Portland, Maine one gorgeous August afternoon many years ago in the 1970's. I was strolling with my friend who owned a store on Congress St and I spotted a painting Terry had just done of his storefront. I said to my friend; "If you don't buy it, I will". It hangs in my hallway to this day.
He became my inspiration to paint and I will always cherish his memory. He was a light on this planet that we...

Wow I don't know what to say. Guess they be needing some watercolor artist in Heaven. I came across one of his books in my library tonight and wondered where He was. Now I know. The good thing is that when you have Christ in your heart, there is no real goodbye...just see ya later. =)

I never had the opportunity to meet Terry or Judy, but I have spent many hours watching and rewatching his wonderful videos. I first bought several of his videos on sale and could not get enough from those few, so I bought all that I could of his wonderful videos. His wit and talent will be greatly missed, I would have bought more or all of his videos if they had been available. He and the late Bob Ross gave hope to many who thought that they could not paint whether it was watercolor or...
