After a brief Members Meeting, and welcome back from summer vacation, Michael Broshar will demonstrate his amazing watercolor technique.  A retired architect from Waterloo , Iowa, Michael has been a full-time watercolor artist and teacher since 2013. 

Artist’s Statement – I have always been intrigued by watercolor as an art form, and how it captures light unlike any other medium. For several years, my focus was on digital art, but in 2013, I focused my painting using watercolor as a medium.

My subjects are based on the places I have visited in Iowa and throughout the United States and world.  My architectural background leads me towards painting architectural subjects, but I find interesting subjects in the landscape around me. I frequently travel the countryside of the Midwest, and find the rural landscapes, small town and city structures, and the industrial areas of the rivers to be compelling.

My intention is not to create a photo realistic image of a scene, but to capture the feeling of the scene.
