WILLIAM ROGERS AWS CSPWC TWSA SCA ASMA NOAPS
William (Bill) Rogers is an Elected Member of the Canadian Society of Painters in Watercolour (CSPWC) of which he is served as President in 2012-2014. He is also a signature member of the American Watercolor Society (AWS), the Transparent Watercolor Society of America (TWSA) and the Societe Canadienne de l’Aquarelle (SCA), the American Society of Marine Artists (ASMA), and the National Oil and Acrylic Painters Society (NOAPS).
In May 2014, Bill served as the Royal Tour Artist for the 2014 Royal Tour of Canada by HRH Prince Charles (now HM King Charles III) and the Duchess of Cornwall. A number of works from the tour are now in HRH's Royal collection.
Most of his landscapes are done “Plein-air” and he also paints the model from life, usually twice a week.
One of these watercolor figures is featured in “Splash 9” from Northlight Books.
He also has a figure drawing in “Strokes of Genius 2″ from Northlight Books.
Horses are a subject dear to his heart, as he had owned them for over 20 years, until 1993 when his art career demanded his total attention. These days he just paints horses but his intimate knowledge of their anatomy and characteristic actions helps make his horse subjects much sought after and winners of numerous awards. One of these works, "Go" , has been published in "Splash 14" from Northlight Books.
Bill has extensive teaching experience in the public school system and teaches Art part time at StFX University, as well as many painting workshops in Canada and abroad.
