So many thanks, Dale, for understanding people like me who are so rooted in my old ways of painting! You offered techniques that opened my eyes to the expanding watercolor techniques I would never have tried without your encouragement. I was pleased that you walked the floor and gave suggestions to improve. Finding new dark colors really created new richness in my work. Gone are the days of washed-out paintings. I recommend Dale Popovich to any and all watercolor beginners and pros. Thank you Dale.

Dillman's Art Retreat
2023 4-Day Watercolor Workshop​
Picture
"Living in the north woods of Wisconsin, my aspirations to become a watercolor artist are driven by my surroundings. Dale Popovich has taught me how to capture what I see around me through every workshop opportunity into beautiful landscape paintings. Dale’s accomplishments as a master of watercolor show in his teaching. He can teach any budding artist from beginner on. He provides the student with detailed pages of helpful information for each painting we work on, easy to understand and use. He guides you through each technique step by step. He observes what you are doing, giving helpful advice as you progress through a lesson. He is never critical, constantly reassuring and building confidence. His humor and stories are delightful, putting students at ease. Every workshop I’ve taken is fun because he makes it that way, and I will continue to take as many as I can."

"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."

"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!"

Will flipping your subject matter make a more interesting composition? Absolutely!
This demonstration is based on a photograph I took last autumn driving down a dirt road not far from Dillman's in the Great Northwoods of Wisconsin. What I want to convey in this demonstration is do not to make yourself a slave to the photograph. Always remember you are painting a painting and not a photograph. Allow yourself a little freedom in your creative process. I will be showing you:
• How to build your painting from background to foreground.
• Painting large areas to small areas.
• Working light to dark.
• Working more intense color at the beginning, and slowly graying down your color as you bring the painting to finish.


​My Dillman’s Workshop will cover all four seasons of the Northwoods – land and water, trees and rocks, and all of nature's beautiful relationships..
