Watercolor
“Strong and Simple”
with Dan
Wiemer
I
want people to bring several reference photos along for painting
material. I demonstrate and explain how I “see it, simplify
it, and state it”. I explain how I create a blueprint before hand
which frees me up when I want to
apply paint. We will do several smaller studies before painting our
larger piece. Become a better shape maker and build with these
shapes, essentially becoming designers first and painters second.
Workshops can be progressive, so if you have taken this workshop
before, remember he will work from where you left off last time! My
classes are fun and fast-paced. All Levels welcomed. 6
Minimum. Age: Adults.

Instructor
-
Dan grew up in northern
Illinois with a love of nature. He studied art and design at Iowa
State University and received his Bachelor of Arts degree (graphic
design) in 1986. Following college, Dan worked at a
Minneapolis design firm. Three years later, in 1989, he began
his freelance career. He juggles a passion to create
commercial illustration as well as fine art. While his
paintings adorn living rooms across the country, his illustrations
are used by Paul Masson wines, St. Paul Chamber Orchestra,
Pillsbury, Chippewa spring water and Bakers Square Restaurants, to
name just a few. Watercolor has been Dan’s media of choice for the
last twenty years. “I truly love the spontaneity of
watercolor,” he said. “Watercolor, in particular, is ideally
suited to intuitive painting.” The fluid medium lends itself to a
unique decision-making process as the painting develops.
Sometimes even the artist is surprised by the final piece.
