September 16-17, 2020 - 2 Days, Advanced Beginner to Advanced
Michael Holter is an American Impressionist that has rapidly become known for his dynamic oil paintings and watercolor portraits, figures, and landscapes. After a successful career in advertising design and creative leadership, Michael began focusing more seriously on his painting in 2011. He is a member of the Salmagundi Club of New York and has quickly become a signature member of the National Watercolor Society, the American Impressionist Society, The Watercolor Honor Society, the Southwestern Watercolor Society, The Society of Watercolor Artists, the Missouri Watercolor Society and the Outdoor Painters Society, and several others.
His work has received numerous awards, been published in the Northlight Books issues of Splash 16 through 21 and been recognized by being selected three times to the Fabriano (Italy) Watermedia Exhibition and in the World Watercolor Competition in Taiwan where Michael was juried into the top 30 artists in the show. He was on the teaching faculty of the 2018 and 2019 Plein Air Convention. Michael has released a DVD, 7 Steps to Landscape Painting in Watercolor.
Although Michael has been painting most of his life, his work experience spans a wide range of creativity, from high school art teacher, advertising creative director and businessman. He holds a Bachelor's Degree in Art Education and an MA in Visual Communication.
His wide range of experience influences his approach to his exciting and popular workshops which he holds throughout the US.
Michael says, "My work is impressionistic. I like to represent people or places and allow the painting to evolve from the recognizable. The challenge is to balance the care needed to make the representation interesting... and perhaps believable, with the freedom, looseness and painterly quality that makes a painting so expressive."
