Watercolor artist Dean Mitchell grew up in the small town of Quincy, Florida, where he draws inspiration using his unique style of realism. #FloridaArtists #Watercolor #WEDU Watch #WEDUArtsPlus: wedu.org/artsplus
Such humanity and raw soul is transmitted through these works. The intense emotion that comes through his art is on a par with some of the world's greatest artists. How is this man not a national icon in the USA? How is this great, yet very humble man not more widely known amongst the some of the world's most famous watercolour artists? I'm a relative beginner watercolour hobbyist since 2019 and I've watched hundreds of RU-vid videos, read books and bought several magazines of The World of Watercolour. I'm often seeing or reading about the same artists, such as Joseph Zbukvic, Alvaro Castagnet, Thomas W Schaller and many others. Yet, this is the first time I've heard about Dean Mitchell. It might just be because I haven't read or seen anything about him until today. Thank you so much for bringing this wonderfully inspiring artist to my attention. I will definitely search for more of his work. Long may he run. He is building a true legacy body of work that is like a witness to a part of the world that his artistic eye and open heart has brought to view.
