Returning for the 2nd year to Dillman’s

In this five day workshop you will learn new techniques in mixing and how to apply fresh transparent paint in lush colorations. Learn timing and how to apply deft brushstrokes In developing your style in watercolor. Bruce's work reflects a direct approach and his demos reflect his creative energy in his paintings. He spends time with student each step of the way from drawing technique to finishing a painting. Also he will do a group critique so everyone can learn for others. Instructional material each day will be in the form of hand outs and outline of day's lesson in markerboard. The amount of instruction time will depend on specific needs and level of experience. Bruce will provide all photo material and weather permitting a one day plein-air demo at midweek. Please join Bruce's class and learn his creative approach. The class is open to all levels and Bruce suggests having some drawing skills for the architectural subjects.

"I must first have the fundamental visual skill of a drawing. This is combining imagination with rational thought, my private thought process that enables me to process my paintings. This is just a beginning to explore and develop my thinking process and to be able to convey that sensibility. My goal is to develop not a way of painting, but a way to think, interpret and create. Each of my paintings I hope conveys this unique experience leading the viewer into a new way of seeing and hopefully understanding my process.

I emphasize good drawing skills and will illustrate this each day of the workshop. It is essential to have a well-designed subject before beginning a painting and the only way to do this is combining imagination and ability to draw." - Bruce
