Each year, Stephen Quiller presents a number of painting workshops. With a focus on color theory, water media techniques, and his signature "Quiller Wheel" approach to color mixing, participants learn to enhance their artistic expression through hands-on instruction in watercolor, gouache, acrylic, or casein painting.
“Steve is the best kind of teacher. He knows how to teach all aspiring artists, no matter the skill level.” —Peggy Stenmark Morgan, Quiller Workshop student
