Watercolor and oil painting, art workshop schedule, and art galleries with paintings by Dale Laitinen, artist and active workshop instructor. Dale is a signature member of the National Watercolor Society (NWS) and Watercolor West (WW). He has been featured in, The Artist’s Magazine, Watercolor Magic, Watercolor Magazine, and Drawingboard Magazine and in several books including The Splash Series, Painting with the White of your Paper, The The Transparent Watercolor Wheel and more.
These workshops are intended for artists of all levels who have some experience in watercolor and would like to further their interest in painting and designing the landscape. Some workshops meet outdoors and some indoors. Others are a combination of both. With indoor classes we paint from out photos and sketches and the outdoor sessions are directly from nature. There are daily painting demonstrations, lectures, individual instruction and group critiques. Participants are responsible for their own art materials.

Laitinen Watermedia Workshop
Serrago Gallery, Richardson, Texas
This mid-September workshop stretches for 5 days of exciting design and technical instruction. In this workshop we exercise both our imaginative muscles by using watermedia to develop strong composition to create powerful paintings.
Instruction includes demos/powerpoint lectures and individual instruction. Critiques also will be held during the workshop which help with gaining new perspectives.
During the class we will also be introduced to Aquabord in addition to painting on watercolor paper. Please join us in finding new shapes in our painting.
