Dale Laitinen demonstrated Watercolor Techniques at April's ACAA meeting

Dale Laitinen demonstrated his watercolor techniques and unique style using Aquabord for the Artists Association on April 13.  Unlike working on paper, the artist can erase parts of all of the painting on Aquaboard using the original Mr. Clean eraser.

Dale begins his work by using a wide flat (3 inches) Robert Simmons brush and completes the major portion with this brush.  Details are added using smaller flat and round brushes toward the end.  He uses Daniel Smith watercolors.

The artist has several upcoming workshops which are listed on his website www.dalelaitinen.com, which also lists books and DVDs available for purchase.
