2012 Painting Tour Calendar
Slikamilina is happy to welcome William Rogers to our 2012 calendar! Bill will be teaching May 22-31 2012.
William (Bill) Rogers is an Elected Member of the Canadian Society of Painters in Watercolour (CSPWC) and is currently the 1st Vice President. He is also a signature member of the Transparent Watercolor Society of America (TWSA) and the Societe Canadienne de l’Aquarelle (SCA).
Most of his landscapes are done “Plein-air” and he also paints the model from life, usually twice a week.
One of these watercolor figures is featured in “Splash 9” from Northlight Books.
He also has a figure drawing in “Strokes of Genius 2″ from Northlight Books.
Horses are a subject dear to his heart, as he had owned them for over 20 years. These days he just paints them but his intimate knowledge of their anatomy and characteristic actions helps make his horse subjects much sought after and winners of numerous awards.
Bill has extensive teaching experience and sometimes teaches Art part time at StFX University as well as many workshops in Canada and abroad. William Rogers Website

Join us June 13th through 22nd, 2012!
My landscape paintings draw the viewer into a heightened vision of color and gesture, depicting the natural world with colors that are intense, lush, and dramatic; going beyond the traditional ideas of a green landscape.
Teasing out the complex colors in the landscape I create layers color, line, and form. The works depict powerful moments from my travels through the everyday vistas of our world. –N.W.
