Dale’s three-day Abstract Patterns of Nature Watercolor Workshop was wonderfully delivered. He was very organized with special projects each day. His step by step approach really helped us to understand the layering process of painting textures, in the landscape. We learned various ways of producing textures using toothbrushes, scrapping tools, paper towels & spritzing water. 

Subject matter varied between water, snow, lots of trees, buildings, various grounds, and a sprinkle of flowers. He is very patient, funny, and thorough with his delivery of information. He does not worry about making a mistake, he just works it into the painting like it was supposed to be there. Many great lessons, Very enjoyable.

​​I'm excited to announce I'll be teaching an 8 week session of Watercolor at Mainstreet Art Center in Lake Zurich, IL.

In this class you will learn to implement key concepts and watercolor painting techniques that will allow you to have a deeper understanding of the medium, with focus on the top principles of creating a solid painting.
  
As you understand these elements through painting pictures you will have better control of the medium and gain a deeper understanding of the creative process of transparent watercolor painting.

If you have any questions regarding this class please contact me. I'd would be happy to discuss your future in watercolor.
