About Dylan Pierce

Dylan Pierce, watercolor artist and teacher

Hi, I’m Dylan Pierce. I’m a professional watercolor artist and teacher. I’ve spent more than twenty years exploring how light, color, atmosphere, and transparent layers can bring a painting to life.

​

My teaching focuses on helping artists understand the fundamentals clearly enough to paint with more confidence and intention.

​

Even after all these years, I’m still drawn to watercolor for its transparency, spontaneity, and ability to capture light and atmosphere.
