William Rogers
William (Bill) Rogers is an Elected Member of the Canadian Society of Painters in Watercolour (CSPWC) and is currently the Atlantic Regional Director. He is also a signature member of the Transparent Watercolor Society of America (TWSA) and the Societe Canadienne de l’Aquarelle (SCA).
Most of his landscapes are done “Plein-air” and he also paints the model from life at least once a week.
One of these watercolor figures is featured in “Splash 9” from Northlight Books.
He also recently had a figure drawing selected for “Strokes of Genius 2″ from Northlight Books due to be in print in 2009.
Horses are a subject dear to his heart, as he had owned them for over 20 years. These days he just paints them but his intimate knowledge of their anatomy and characteristic actions helps make his horse subjects much sought after and winners of numerous awards.
Bill has extensive teaching experience and currently teaches Art part time at StFX University as well as many workshops in Canada and the USA.
