Dylan Pierce

Watercolor Basics
March 30 & 31
Friday - Saturday
10 AM - 5 PM
$250  
            

We will pack into 2 days as much as we can about the basics of watercolor. This class is perfect for those who’ve never painted watercolor or have only played with it a little. There will be lots of demos and time for you to paint with one-on-one help. This class will be limited to 12 people. We will go over the fundamental techniques to teach you how to control watercolor.

“I have tried to paint with watercolors since high school, even after a semester of watercolor painting at the Cleveland Institute of Art, I have found it frustrating. Painting with Dylan was a revelation. My skills took a leap and bound during the 2 day workshop."  - C. Williams

About Dylan Scott Pierce

Picture
Art has always been my passion!  I love to draw and paint. I also enjoy music and finger picking the guitar. Reading, roller blading, hiking and mountain biking are great pastimes. 

Nevertheless, my greatest pleasure is painting in watercolor!  My oeuvre is largely animals, people and still lifes.

As long as I can remember, I have loved watercolor. I started painting when I was about eleven. I continue to be passionate about this amazing medium.  The versatility and power of watercolors to convey emotion, and to communicate my vision to bring subjects to life, makes this my favorite method of painting!  Water colors are ideal for rendering the distinctive details of sculptural elements.

​As I paint, I often think about God; how we are made in his image and reflect his creativity. The beauty of God’s varied wonders motivates me - everything that lives, crawls and breathes in our glorious world is inspiring - wildlife, plants, and people - especially children!


Several years ago, I studied with Chris Di Domizio (Di Domizio’s Art School, Sandy Springs, GA).  After studying with Chris, my painting became richer and more emotional - I felt a renewed joy in creating mood and meaning in my art.  Chris’ teaching has continued to be a major influence on my work.

​Several years ago, I went to Africa.  That experience was so profound it continues to remain the visual inspiration for many of my paintings.  Africa is so extraordinary with the most beautiful, and astonishing variety of wildlife on earth.  Animals I never thought I would see, it was thrilling! Yet, meeting the people of Africa deeply affected me.  Despite living in often dreadful conditions – children orphaned by AIDs, begging on the streets, adults trying to survive day by day – the Africans were gentle, friendly and kind.  It was a humbling experience just to compare their lives to ours!
