Doug Dawson

Pastel Landscape Painting

CAW is proud to present the esteemed pastel instructor from Colorado. As an instructor, he is generous with his time and attention to each student. He covers every phase needed to complete a painting. As he teaches, he moves from shape to shape, value to value, while demonstrating his brush strokes and attention to the soft edges. Students return again and again to his classes and reference books.

His works range from expressive portraits to urban night scenes to emotive landscapes. All of them capturing the light and mood of the moment-in-time.

His art has been honored nationally and internationally. He has been given the title of Master Pastelist by the Pastel Society of America and awarded the title of Master Circle by the International Association of Pastel Societies. He was entered in the Pastel Society of America Hall of Fame in 2008. His most recent instruction was given in “Pastel Live” Global 2022 Virtual Arts Conference. (22 countries)

He has taught art for Colorado Institute of Art, Colorado Christian University, and The Art Students League of Denver. He is a founding board member for The Art Students League of Denver where he teaches classes in figure painting and landscape painting.
