Watercolor, Experimental Techniques
"Watercolor is a lively medium which fosters imagination and frees the spirit. It
has resumed prominence in today's art world due to new papers and new paints and new
approaches. In our watercolor classes we attempt to develop style, insight and
spontaneity. There are many different techniques but the basics, without which no art
form can survive, are liberally preached. To build a knowledgeable competence in any
craft one must continue to ask ‘why,' and thus gradually you learn and understand," says
Dale Meyers.
Ms. Meyers studied at the Corcoran Gallery in Washington, D.C. and with Mario
Cooper at the Art Students League. Her many awards for painting and her contributions
to the field of watercolor include the Bronze Medal of Honor from the American
Watercolor Society and gold medals from the National Arts Club, Salmagundi Club,
Allied Artists, Knickerbocker Artists, and the Samuel Finley Breeze Morse Medal from
the National Academy of Design.
Paintings by Ms. Meyers are in the permanent collections of the Palace of the
Legion of Honor in San Francisco, the Arnot Museum, the National Academy of Design,
Museo de la Acuarela in Mexico City, the Seattle and Portland Museums, the
Smithsonian Institution and in many private collections. She has exhibited widely
throughout the United States, Europe and Asia.
Under commission from the National Gallery, she documented the Apollo II
Moon Shot and the Viking Mars Landing for NASA. Her work is reproduced in
Eyewitness to Space, published by H. Abrams. She is the author of The Sketchbook, first
published in 1983 by Reinhold.
She is President Emeritus and a Dolphin Medalist of the American Watercolor
Society and member of the National Academy.
