L E T T E R F R O M T H E D I R E C T O RWhile attending Michigan State University for Landscape Architecture I was required to take a watercolor class for rendering proposals to clients; I thoroughly enjoyed the medium and the painting challenge but found very little time to practice my personal love of the arts in the following years . However, in 1975, I was encouraged by my wife Sue to attend a watercolor class at The Clearing, in Door County . This reignited my passion for the arts .

Three years later we brought art instruction to the Dillman’s Bay Resort of Northern Wisconsin, starting with watercolorist Phil Austin . Eventually Dillman’s Creative Arts Foundation was established as a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation offering as many as 100 classes annually at our three-season resort plus international ports of call . Our students and instructors have become dear friends over the years .

Ironically, in 1935 Marvin and Peg Dillman (pictured), Sue’s parents, intended to use their teaching and school administration skills to start a boy’s camp . I think they would be pleased to see the educational experiences which have evolved at Dillman’s Bay Resort .

I invite you to take advantage of the unique serene environment with your family while attending a creative art experience at the same time . Each year we are grateful to welcome new and returning instructors along with students who share bonds of camaraderie . The peaceful resort location, with 24-hour studio time, allows guests to spend concentrated time dedicated to developing their personal interests in the visual arts such as: watercolor, acrylic, oil, pastel, photography, wood carving, personal growth and nature study . There is time for your art without distraction; join us at Dillman’s in 2020 .

No theme, only your own personal goals. Bring plenty of paper, canvas, paint, varnish, brushes and other stuff you may need! Bob is there to help you with your goals - this is not a ‘teaching step-by-step’ workshop. Sign up early!

JULIE SKODA AUGUST 16-214 TEACHING DAYS

MELINDA CHILDS AUGUST 23-273 TEACHING DAYS

Working on the Business of ArtNew to Dillman’s – www.artstartrhinelander.org“Work of Art: Business Skills for Artists” is a workshop series developed by Twin Cities based artist services non-profit Springboard for the Arts. This workshop is a professional development curriculum designed to teach business skills to artists in all disciplines. From marketing and recordkeeping to business planning this is a primer for all artists at any stage of their career, from new artists to seasoned professionals.

This course will be interactive and will provide templates and tools to help you get your business in order.

ANDY EVANSEN AUGUST 23-284 TEACHING DAYS

Paint Bold Watercolor LandscapesReturning for the 3rd year – evansenartstudio.comStudents will focus on using value studies to identify the large shapes in a scene. These large shapes provide the artist with opportunities for lost edges when painting in watercolor. Often ‘found edges’, or details, take over the thinking process, and result in a tight watercolor. Students will move toward color paintings with lots of individual help, and complete color painting lessons together. Demos will be done by Andy every day to reinforce the lessons. In order to loosen up it is imperative for artists to have a clear vision of what they want to accomplish with their painting and then execute quickly. This class will give students the tools and confidence to do just that.

KAREN KNUTSON AUGUST 23-284 TEACHING DAYS

From Traditional to Abstract Returning for the 4th year – www.karenknutson.comIf you are wanting to step out of the box and change traditional subjects to more abstract designs, this is the workshop for you! The most common subject will be developed into an exciting abstract or semi-abstract composition. Design scares many people, but Karen has fun color exercises that make design easy! Wire drawing (the practice of using permanent markers to make things look like a wire sculpture) makes it possible to turn traditional subjects into contemporary designs. Major breakthroughs are bound to happen. Mixed media will be used, with acrylic being the main medium.

JENNIFER STONE AUGUST 23-284 TEACHING DAYS

Abstract & Figurative Paintings in Collage Returning for the 2nd year – www.jenniferstoneartwork.comCreating original collage papers to suit your needs can be fun, exciting and gratifying!

By carving and making stamps with your own designs, and using stencils as well, you can create papers that meet your needs. Due to high interest, Jennifer will be including the option to add abstracted figurative images in to your work. Oftentimes, it’s a surprise to you as well!

TOM LYNCH JUNE 21-264 TEACHING DAYS

Watercolor Secrets RevealedReturning for the 33rd year – www.tomlynch.com Tom’s objective is to show the vast range and flexibility of watercolor and to put emotion and conviction into painting by exploring, experimenting, and developing creativity. He likes to put fun into the process of painting, along with enthusiasm and new techniques and knowledge you can use for a lifetime. A goal for each day is set, and Tom sees to it that each student has an understanding of that day’s lesson. There will be daily demos, individual attention and detailed explanations of all the “how’s & why’s”. For returning students, Tom has developed a workshop within a workshop featuring a review and evaluation of your artwork before the workshop and a customized plan of action with extra help during the lunch breaks.

DAVID R. BECKER JUNE 28-JULY 34 TEACHING DAYS

The Most Important Watercolor WorkshopReturning for the 8th year – www.davidrbecker.com David will be teaching you watercolor from beginning to end; starting with teaching you how to take total control of the watercolor medium, leading to using that control of the medium to create well-composed watercolors. Subject matter will be changing daily with photo reference supplied in the morning and afternoon. David’s teaching method takes all students on a paint-a-long style of teaching while trying a variety of different surfaces and techniques. This class is designed to benefit all levels of painters. Teaching students to conquer the medium of watercolor is David’s goal and he takes great pride in making sure every student leaves with the ability to control the paint while trying all sorts of new materials.

DON ANDREWS AUGUST 16-214 TEACHING DAYS

Color & Design in WatercolorReturning for the 15th year – donandrewsstudio.com Seasoned artists and teachers will tell you that their biggest breakthrough came when they began applying color and design concepts into their paintings. Early in our painting life we all struggle to copy nature as we see it. Painting becomes a lot of work with little reward, what’s missing is an understanding of color and design. These concepts are logical, learnable and once you have them, they’ll be evident in every painting you paint. You’re encouraged to bring along sketches or photos of your favorite subject matter, flowers, figures, boats, city streets or country scenes, etc… Each day Don will show you how to boil down any subject to a simple, exciting watercolor statement; no stress, no fear, lots of demos, laughs and personal guidance.

JANET ROGERS AUGUST 16-214 TEACHING DAYS
