Over 20 years of drawing daily for tattoo clients has sharpened Dan Marshall’s skills as a draftsman, and studying with renowned artist Joseph Zbukvic has elevated his techniques in watercolor. Influenced by the work of John Singer Sargent, Eugène Galien-Laloue, Édouard Cortès, Luigi Loir, Richard Schmid, and Michael Workman), Marshall continues to experiment and hone his personal style.

Working mainly en plein air has helped the artist to develop a confident style with an immediacy and freshness infused into each painting. He spoke about his passion for watercolor and plein air in a recent PleinAir Art Podcast with Eric Rhoads.
