David lives in the Bay Area and is a native Californian, which is reflected in the sun-dappled streets and waterfront imagery that dominate his work. Although largely self-taught as a watercolor painter, he credits his 30 years as a practicing architect with having given him the drawing skills and strong sense of perspective that have elevated his artwork to a professional level. David s works capture random moments—on the street, in nature, and wherever else his portable easel takes him. “I enjoy working outdoors because it’s unpredictable and lends itself to a kind of spontaneity you just can’t get in a studio,” he says. Painting outdoors, especially in the urban settings he favors, requires adaptability and above all speed. Usually the elements are a factor, like the changing light (or more dramatically, the onset of a thunderstorm); and the most alluring subjects/ scenarios are often fleeting or temporary at best. The challenges involved in painting outside are essential to what makes this peculiar art form so vital, and a big part of David’s efforts to create the feeling and energy of spontaneous work. “When you paint outdoors, you’re completely immersed in the scene—the atmosphere, the mood,” says David. “You’re just soaking it in, feeling the subject—empathy—and actually capturing its essence. When I look at one of my paintings, I feel the energy of that place or scene like I was there yesterday. Ultimately, that’s the feeling I’m trying to induce in others who see my work.” David’s passion for outdoor painting isn’t limited to his own sketches and paintings, he also teaches it, offering classes distinguished by their intimate size and the generous amount of personal instruction he provides. His expert instruction enables students to improve their artistic skills and knowledge. Art critic Brian Sherwin commented on David’s artwork stating “Artist David Savellano’s artwork reveals the harmony that can be found between controlled marks spurred by dedication and spontaneity, bold marks that can only be made by an artist who is comfortable working loosely.” Sherwin adds, “ David’s artwork is the perfect meshing of controlled marks and loose marks ‘fueled’ by split second instinct. That energy which involves critical thinking and a keen eye for observation serves as the essence of his practice.”

Join us for an entertaining evening with Plein Air Watercolor artist David Savellano. David lives in the Bay Area and is a native Californian, which is reflected in the sun-dappled streets and waterfront imagery that dominate his work. Although largely self-taught as a watercolor painter, he credits his 30 years as a practicing architect with having given him the drawing skills and strong sense of perspective that have elevated his artwork to a professional level.
David s works capture random moments—on the street, in nature, and wherever else his portable easel takes him. “I enjoy working outdoors because it’s unpredictable and lends itself to a kind of spontaneity you just can’t get in a studio,” he says. Painting outdoors, especially in the urban settings he favors, requires adaptability and above all speed. Usually the elements are a factor, like the changing light (or more dramatically, the onset of a thunderstorm); and the most alluring subjects/scenarios are often fleeting or temporary at best.
The challenges involved in painting outside are essential to what makes this peculiar art form so vital, and a big part of David’s efforts to create the feeling and energy of spontaneous work. “When you paint outdoors, you’re completely immersed in the scene—the atmosphere, the mood,” says David. “You’re just soaking it in, feeling the subject—empathy—and actually capturing its essence. When I look at one of my paintings, I feel the energy of that place or scene like I was there yesterday. Ultimately, that’s the feeling I’m trying to induce in others who see my work.”

****************************************************************************************************
As we gear up for a very busy and exciting year ahead we are looking for Volunteers to lead the way on several projects.

As always we look for volunteers to help with receiving, installation, takedown, wine pouring for the two days and reception helpers. .

For our June 10th General Meeting we
are trying something new.
Our program on the second Tuesday of
June will be a Marketing Makeover for
Artists Seminar. “Artists Who Thrive” with
Nationally noted artist, Ann Rea. Ann gained
recognition for her contemporary landscape
paintings of Napa Valley and business
savvy. Now she speaks to artists about
marketing strategy. Rea is eager to destroy
the “starving artist” myth by leading artists
away from the broken, scarcity and
permission based art establishment and
towards creative freedom through
entrepreneurship. She recently authored
SELL YOUR ART without Selling Out,101
Rules, the primer for an eight-week,
intimate, live, online foundational business
course for artists, MAKING Art/Making
MONEY.
Registration is required online for this meeting and there is a fee. $20.00 per person. Registration
information will be in the next newsletter.

The Alamo-Danville Artists' Society (ADAS) was founded as a non-profit organization in 1977 by Beth Batchelor and Ida Farese. Our mission is to foster fine art appreciation and education within our communities and to provide the opportunity for artists to further their artistic development. In an effort to support art education, ADAS established an outreach program in 1992 and by 1995, this effort expanded into the Grants program for the San Ramon Unified School District, which funds art grants on an annual basis.
