September 13 - 19, 2009

Level: Intermediate & Advanced
5-Day Outdoor Class

David Taylor is one of Australia’s top watercolor artists. He has received many honors for his contribution to the advancement of modern Australian art, and his work is represented in private and public collections around the world.

David first began teaching in 1968, endeavoring to pass on what he has learned with an open, enthusiastic style. He believes that because he loves what he does, he should share it – the hallmark of a dedicated teacher.

David will give spontaneous demonstrations covering numerous subjects; landscape, streetscape and still life. In these sessions, he’ll discuss the art of simplifying, techniques of wet-on-wet and wet-into-wet, dry brush effects and how to handle very wet or very dry paper.

While working on each of these topics, he’ll emphasize composition, tone, and color – the things that make a painting sing. Creativity and individuality are encouraged throughout.
