(Five Teaching Days)
New to Dillman's This class will explore the mysteries and many facets of the watercolor medium, to create a wealth of magical moments, which will include spontaneity, atmosphere and catching the changing light. Color, drawing skills, composition will be addressed in a harmonious friendly atmosphere, with a powerful and positive approach. Individuality and sensitivity will be encouraged. Demos and questions will play a part in the learning process. We will work on location and students will be encouraged and inspired to go further in improving their knowledge and journey in this beautiful flowing medium. Landscape, seascape, cityscape and boats will be covered. David Taylor was born in Melbourne, Australia in 1941.
