Demonstration by Watercolor Artist Dale Latinen featured at next ACAA meeting on Wednesday April 13

Dale Latinen, nationally known watercolor artist and teacher, will be demonstrating at the Wednesday, April 13 meeting of the Amador County Artists Association, commencing at 7 p.m. in the Jackson Senior Center, 229 New York Ranch Road.  Laitinen will demonstrate on Aquabord, a clay painting surface.

Laitinen has been roaming, hiking and painting the Sierra Nevada and the rest of the West for much of his life. His wilderness subjects include mountains, deserts, and canyons. His “Engineered Landscape” series, depicting dams, bridges, and roadways, reveal the aesthetic contrast between the man-made and the natural.

The artist is a Fine Art graduate with a concentration in painting from San Jose State University. His depth of knowledge of the landscape is a result of many years as an independent long-haul trucker traveling the country. Having survived the trucking life, in 1985 he turned to full-time painting and teaching and has pursued this line of work up to the present day.  His popular workshops are held throughout the United States.

Latinen is represented in several galleries in California and continues to be published in numerous art periodicals and books. He is the author of “Blue Shadow Country,” a self-published book featuring his paintings, which is currently available from Blurb.com and dalelaitinen.com. “The Language of Landscape” and “Landscape Essentials” are his teaching videos currently available through ccpvideos.com and dalelaitinen.com.

The ACAA invites the public to the meeting and demonstration and new members are encouraged.  For more information about ACAA, visit www.amadorcountyartists.org
