"The great paintings are the ones with the most subtle value relationships. The closer you could bring your values and still distinguish between them, the stronger you were as a painter."

Thinking of an art vacation workshop this year? In my watercolor workshops and classes, the student will experience my unique step-by-step instruction in transparent watercolor. Exploring the beauty of nature, and gain a deeper, richer understanding of the techniques, properties, and tools of this unique medium. My classes are small so that I can dedicate more one-on-one time with the student.
Students will learn how to block in the painting, interpret color values and temperatures. Use different processes of watercolor: working wet-into-wet as well as wet-on-to-dry. Understand the importance of a focal point and how to place it. I will also share my secrets to bring your painting to a new level.
My objective is to share my knowledge, 40 years of professional art instruction. Whether you are looking for watercolor painting lessons for beginners or the intermediate artist wanting to sharpen their drawing and painting skills. I want you to walk away with a great experience and a higher, more in-depth understanding of transparent watercolor. Also, my watercolor workshops and classes are for the student to gain confidence in this beautiful medium.
I will supply my materials list and personal landscape photo references for all watercolor workshops and classes.
Hope to see you this soon.

"I just wanted to say again how much I enjoyed your watercolor workshop this weekend in Fish Creek, WI. I learned a lot and appreciated your personable and easy-going style. I also was impressed with the way your critiqued our work, constructive and encouraging. It really helped me to think of ways I can improve my landscape painting." – Dee M. Peninsula School of Art 
"I attended one of Dale Popovich's one-day watercolor workshop sponsored by the Bloomington Watercolor Society. I learned how to really loosen up – fantastic experience. The class really push me to try some new things in new ways. I learned a lot about reflections during this workshop. You are a patient and engaging teacher. I wish we had another day. Thank you so very much, Dale!"

"Over my painting journey, I’ve attended several workshops. Dale Popovich is an award - winning artist, who creates unforgettably beautiful watercolor paintings. Many of my workshop instructors have also been excellent at their craft. But none compare with this instructor’s generosity, individual help, caring, and overall teaching ability. Dale provided frequent but short demonstrations, supplemented with explanation as he painted. Immediately following each demo, students painted that portion of the scene while it was fresh in their mind. As students painted, he constantly circulated, offering help whenever needed. Dale Popovich created a positive class atmosphere in which students were free to ask questions (some with light-hearted bantering while they learned}. Each student came away with demonstrable accomplishments and, most important, a feeling of inspiration." – Marion Wiley 2019 Watercolor Workshop at Dillman’s Bay Resort |
