David Deyell Starting his Demo
The
San Fernando Valley Art Club February meeting featured watercolor artist David Deyell. Using a large paper and brush, David paints with a free, spontaneous confidence. He emphasized the importance of values in any successful painting and passed around a red filter which he uses to evaluate how effective the values are in his work.
David at the Break
With only one large brush, David achieves fine lines and many different textures. His trick is to paint with every part of the brush, side, tip, face and hilt. He will roll the brush on the paper, punch it with the tip, use dry brush or lots of water. Variety is key and he always remembers to allow the brush strokes to show.
David Finished Painting of Half Dome
As a contemporary California Impressionist, David's work is simple, expressive and full of energy. He paints with an abandon that is inspiring. Often on location paintingplein air, David conducts workshops in Yosemite and teaches. The SFVAC wants to thank David for a wonderful demo.
