Artist:David Daniels
Date: June 15 – 21, 2008
Medium: Watercolor
Level: Intermediate & Advanced
Location: Studio

David Daniels is the watercolor instructor for the Smithsonian Institution of Washington, DC and teaches workshops throughout the world. David’s former training as a botanist and biologist are always evident in his work and he enjoys showing the beauty of nature in new and refreshing ways. He firmly believes that here is no trite subject matter, only trite painting.

His interactive approach and humor are often recognized as his strongest teaching tools. The heart of the artist and the spirit of the medium are the two most important components of his teaching. Students are introduced to methods of using multiple glazes over wet into wet passages to achieve an unsurpassed brilliance as well as the use of masking agents to achieve a jewel-like batik effect.

The spontaneity of watercolor should not lead to weak painting because of a lack of planning. David shows how to carefully construct a watercolor using preliminary sketches on tracing paper that eventually get transferred to the watercolor paper. Students work with sketches, photographs and other source material. This process allows for stronger compositions and therefore stronger paintings. Planning does not destroy spontaneity, it allows for opportunity.

In the years since then, he has also been an art instructor, author of 6 books on art, and an avid traveler. Anyone who sees his travel journals marvels at how he captures the sense of place and time.

“Ever wonder why we rarely relive our travels through photos? Perhaps because taking a photo requires so little investment of one’s attention. Even after 30 years, my sketch journals vividly evoke wonderful places and memories of my travels! Artistic journaling slows your pace, as you observe a scene for at least as long as it takes to sketch it. Journaling is solely for pleasure – it doesn’t require that you be an accomplished artist. Regardless of skill level, you’ll be amazed how quickly your drawing and watercolor skills improve – within hours! We’ll visit and sketch some of the Hudson Valley’s most interesting locales. By the end of the workshop, you’ll be a dedicated journaler…and a better painter too!”

Freezing That Moment of Light
Exploring the Foundations of PLEIN Air

Instruction will focus on the difficulty of freezing that moment of light. Developing your knowledge and skills through a better understanding and awareness of how to approach the ever-fleeting moment of light. I’m sure we have all experienced times when we were excited to paint a particular scene and then found out that we were unable to get the proper information quickly down on canvas. Hence, the light has changed and the effect was lost. The Plein Air Artist needs to develop; speed and accuracy. This workshop addresses the use of sound fundamentals and principles, which are essential to the development of plein-aire painting. Students will paint the outdoors, studying and developing a better understanding of such principles as; The Four Divisions of the Landscape, Value verses Color, Proper use of Edges, Understanding Color Temperature, Trusting Your Eyes and most important, The Ten Questions we Should ask Before Painting. Together we will explore the importance of these foundations to better our skills and develop the speed along with the accuracy we need to better our results on the canvas.

Kenn works with you to help further develop your individual style. He identifies your strong and weak points in order to build on your strong points and try to overcome the weak areas. The format of the class is to paint on location with the instructor teaching through lecture and/or demonstration each day. After the demonstration, the participants paint the rest of the day while receiving individual instruction.
