SUMMARY:Join the NSWS For An In-Person Demo With Deb Zeller
DESCRIPTION:Deb Zeller began her art career at age thirteen\, when she received a set of oil paints for her birthday. Over the decades she has developed her skills in drawing\, painting\, glass fusion\, encaustic (beeswax) painting\, photography and bronze sculpture. It wasn’t until a painting trip to Cuba with Eric Rhodes of Plein Air Magazine in March of 2018 that Deb became serious about watercolor. Oil paints seemed way too cumbersome to carry all that way. She practiced weekly with watercolors in her studio with the Minnesota Figure Study Collaborative\, but had never taken a lesson in watercolor painting. A short overview of the watercolor and charcoal portraits she created in Cuba can be seen on her website. \n\nAfter Cuba\, Deb’s love for watercolor really developed and she joined the Minnesota Watercolor Society.  That led to numerous watercolor classes from both local and national artists.  Watermedia has become Deb’s absolute favorite media\, although she still plays with all the rest. She has Signature Status in both the Minnesota Watercolor Society and the National Watercolor Society. \nYou can check out all her work and the Minnesota Figure Study Collaborative on her website:  zellerstudio.com

SUMMARY:Dan Wiemer Demo
DESCRIPTION:Join NorthStar for an evening of fun with watercolorist\, Dan Wiemer. Dan will paint a beautiful\, stylized North Shore scene\, using transparent watercolor and opaque acrylic. Dan is obsessed with design\, negative shape making\, and the ruggedness of the North. These obsessions led him to study Canadian painters\, most notably the Group of Seven. They are personally relatable to him. Their career paths evolved from graphic designers to illustrators to painters. This has been Dan’s path as well.
