My Beginning Drawing and Watercolor : Birds and Wildlife workshop was held September 3-8th at Dillman’s Resort on the beautiful peninsula of White Sand Lake in Lac du Flambeau, Wisconsin. It was a fabulous week of work, play, and friendship as our group learned the skills that led to confidence in drawing and watercolor painting. Everyone worked hard from from sketch to black and white study to color study. We painted birds, wildlife as well as landscapes, and a floral to remind us of the art concepts that are basic for the success of any painting. The process will continue at home as each person is challenged to devote at least 20 minutes a day to sketching or painting, making it a lifelong habit that serves to nourish the artist within.
Beverly and I thank our students who came to this memorable workshop. We loved the enthusiasm, the sense of humor, and the personal warmth of each student. I am happy to announce that Beverly and I will be back next year for the week of September 14-18th, 2020 for the Beginning Drawing and Watercolor workshop, created for all levels of learners. Know that it is beneficial to take this course more than once to reinforce the practice and the teaching. We pack in a great deal of information and I often change up my exercises to keep this workshop fresh and stimulating. To sign up for next year’s workshop, go to www. dillmans.com. We hope to see you again!
