Learn to simplify your subjects and find strength in the power of large shapes. With the big shapes taken care of, it’s easier to loosen up and find confidence in using fluid washes, expressive brushwork, and bold color – the beauty of watercolor! There will be a critique, an exercise or demonstration each day, with plenty of time to paint and explore on your own in-between sessions. Painting subjects will focus mainly on landscape. Photos will be provided, however you are welcome to use your own reference.
The class will be recorded and available to the students for up to two month.

Bio

Dan is an award winning third-generation painter. His first interest in painting was in the 9th grade; while driving with his dad he mentioned he’d like to try painting. The next morning he woke to the kitchen table covered with everything he could ever possibly need to paint a picture.  He’s been featured in Plein Air Magazine and Southwest Art Magazine. Recent honors include the Jean Stern Distinctive Legacy Award at the Laguna Plein Air Invitational and Best of show at Grand Marais Plein Air. A regular workshop instructor, he travels occasionally but prefers to stay close to home. He lives in Cold Spring, MN with his wife Mallory, sons Jack (6) and Drew (3), daughter Emma (1), plein air painting canine bud – Ruby, a cat named Hunter, and 15 chickens.

 

STATEMENT

“It’s hard to pinpoint exactly what it is that draws me to a scene. I’m sure it’s a number of both technical and intangible things, such as composition, large value shapes, light, and often that unexplainable spirit you feel from a space. I paint to re-create these connections, and, of course, if my viewers are able to see and feel that as well, it’s a great moment.”
