In this live demonstration, American Watercolor Society Signature member Stephen Quiller will share a painting approach informed by the endless possibilities of color.

Stephen describes the painting process he will share in the demo:
“Color is the most expressive and emotional of all the elements of design, and I have spent the last 40 years focusing on how it can best be used by painters. This approach is based on 200 years of color theory used by the PreRaphaelites, Impressionists and Post Impressionists, the Ashcan School, as well as Op Art.”

Quiller is an internationally known painter and is a Dolphin Fellow and signature member of the American Watercolor Society, the National Watercolor Society, National Society for Painters in Acrylic and Casein, Rocky Mountain National Watermedia, and Watercolor West. He has received the 2018 Silver Medal and the 2014 Gold Medal of Honor at the American Watercolor Society’s International Exhibitions as well as many other honors.
