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 focus is on guiding my students to express light and atmosphere in their artwork, enabling them to create impactful pieces utilizing the fundamental elements of art. The principles I teach are applicable across all mediums, not just watercolor.

 

After more than twenty years of painting in watercolor, I’m still drawn to its transparency, spontaneity, and ability to capture light and atmosphere.
