The highest aim of art is an interpretation rather than realism. Of course, one must present truth, but the highest is interpretation.

Thank you, Dale, for such an inspiring and productive workshop, Painting the Northwoods at Dillman’s Resort. Your guidance and encouragement throughout the four days helped each of us feel a sense of accomplishment, no matter what skill level we were at. I appreciated and learned so much from your four-step process of adding a darker value at each of the four phases. Your pauses between each step allowed us to paint along with you. During the pauses, you brought your work around the room showing us up close to each step, and allowed us to photograph it to have a record of each step. Many other instructors do not use your method, but paint Alla prima – start to finish – which makes it very hard to follow along. Learning your four-step method has helped me be able to analyze my photographs to decide on the focal point with the freedom to choose how I want to interpret the photo. Thank you so much for a delightful workshop!

See what you missed yesterday! Finished my first week of a new Palette & Chisel Zoom watercolor studio class. This summer session runs for 4-weeks and you will complete four paintings. My instruction is done as a paint-along. Why? I feel my students retain what they learn better in small bite-size portions. ...

a smart way to use your smart device
​to understand values

I found an app to help you understand values called NotanIzer. Sometimes a scene can be so colorful with textures you lose sight of value. Well, this app will help you see and understand values better. Whether you are in the studio or out doing a day of plein air painting. Easy to use on the fly, sitting at the doctor's office, or at your drawing table. I like it because it gives you flexibility allowing you to save your options in your camera roll. The app costs $1.99.

Here's a link to one of my past favorite newsletters. While rebranding we reviewed all of past mailings and comments from my community, ​I'm lucky to be married to a graphic designer/ marketer- she makes me look good. We discovered our people wanted more of my fundamentals knowledge of drawing and painting. Oh, this newsletter was a tribute to my father-in-law, Coby who we lost in 2014. He was a good friend,
​mentor, and hero.

"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!"

I first came across Dale's watercolor classes in the spring of 2020.  He was doing some Watercolour Escape Saturdays on Facebook Live.  After following along with his painting, I was determined to learn his style.  He has a wonderful, loose method of interpreting scenes and communicating that to his students.  I like to think I am "playing" more when I paint in Dale's style, and I feel I have the tools to interpret my own scenes and get pleasing results.

"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."
