Techniques to Painting Clouds in Watercolor with Dale Laitinen at Petroglyphe

Mokelumne Hill, CA...One of the great pleasures of being human is watching the colors, forms and movement in the clouds – an ever-changing canvas of light, shadow and color with an ethereal quality. Art students enjoy the pleasant studio atmosphere located inside Petroglyphe Gallery, where finished works of art fuel the creative juices of budding artisans. Dale Laitinen will be teaching Techniques to Painting Clouds on Saturday, March 28 at the gallery. Be sure to reserve your spot right away, as space is limited...







Dale Laitinen has been painting for over forty years with thirty five of those in watercolor. He is a signature member of the National Watercolor Society, and Watercolor West. Dale is a graduate of Modesto Junior College and San Jose State University with a BA in Art with a painting concentration. He is a past juror of many National and regional exhibitions including Watercolor West, Kentucky Watercolor Society, Utah Watercolor Society, Watercolor Society of Oregon, Red River Watermedia Show, Magnum Opus and many others.



One of the signatures of a Laitinen painting is the long view with the natural forms of the topography being foremost. His works extend to the interaction between structures such as roads, dams, canals, powerhouses, and the natural landscape. In one of these paintings one might find a concrete dam that spans a river canyon, or a highway that cuts through desert sandstone, or a shadow of a bridge that crawls slowly across a red rock wall.



A native of northern Minnesota, Dale has lived, moved, and traveled across the American West and this figures prominently in his work. He now lives and works in Mountain Ranch, California.



March 28 Learn the Techniques to Painting Clouds with Dale Laitinen 10:00 am – 2:30 pm Open to all levels

Watercolor is the perfect medium to paint skies and clouds. In this one-day class we will paint it all from rain clouds to sunset clouds. Effective skies will make all your landscapes more dramatic. Join us, the sky is the limit. To sign up for this and other workshops call the gallery at 209-286-1387 or visit www.gallerypetroglyphe.com.
