David Daniels is the watercolor instructor for the Smithsonian Institution of Washington, DC and teaches workshops throughout the world. David's former training as a botanist and biologist are always evident in his work and he enjoys showing the beauty of nature in new and refreshing ways. He firmly believes that here is no trite subject matter, only trite painting. His interactive approach and humor are often recognized as his strongest teaching tools. The heart of the artist and the spirit of the medium are the two most important components of his teaching. Students are introduced to methods of using multiple glazes over wet into wet passages to achieve an unsurpassed brilliance as well as the use of masking agents to achieve a jewel-like batik effect. The spontaneity of watercolor should not lead to weak painting because of a lack of planning. David shows how to carefully construct a watercolor using preliminary sketches on tracing paper that eventually get transferred to the watercolor paper. Students work with sketches, photographs and other source material. This process allows for stronger compositions and therefore stronger paintings. Planning does not destroy spontaneity, it allows for opportunity.

Steve is a professional architect and an emerging photographer with the passion and ability to perceive the extraordinary in the ordinary. As his architectural career wound down into retirement, he decided to enhance his technical abilities developed over a life time of interest in photography. He sharpened his dark room skills with several college photography courses. He then received valuable critiques in classes and work shops at The Smithsonian Institution and The Maine Photographic Workshops. These technical photography skills, along with Steve's refined architectural aesthetics, enable him to create stimulating photographic art. And since his eye is trained to evaluate architectural details under varying ambient light conditions, he observes extraordinary artistic opportunities in ordinary subjects. He perceives fine art in abstract patterns and has a special interest in shadow patterns that show intriguing changes with the passage of time and changing angles of sun light. His high sensitivity to spatial compositions, light / shadow patterns, rich color combinations and textural contrasts in the everyday built and natural environment has resulted in critical recognition with competition awards. Now you too can enjoy his photographs and, hopefully, enhance your ability to perceive every day encounters as more beautiful experiences.
