Painting with Intention: Developing a Path to Stronger Watercolors
January 10-17 2026
Casa de los Artistas, Boca de Tomatlan, MX
Dan’s workshop will focus on composition, design, consistency of wash and proper use of tone to help you elevate your watercolors to fine art paintings! Develop the ability to see shapes and tones, establish a consistent painting process, exploit “mistakes,” refine and further develop your technique and take your paintings to the next level…We’ll work hard and have fun…there will be serious work and serious FUN!
In his demo and lecture sessions, Dan will share some detailed skills: drawing rhythmically with a loose accuracy, keeping everything loose to go beyond just coloring in your drawing; Keeping connectivity and color harmony working for you; Using varying consistencies of pigment in relation to the degree of wetness in the paper; Varying types of edges and subtly shifting value and temperature to create visual depth and interest. Sounds like a lot!… but boy is it fun to start truly understanding and exploring the creation process.
