David Cuin is a watercolorist of the traditional, realist school incorporating the soft, atmospheric capabilities of the medium into his work at the same time as maintaining a crisp attention to detail. His training and career as an Architectural Engineer lends structure and form to the depiction of the architectural and man-made subjects that, together with landscapes, form the greater part of his preferred subjects. His technical background does nothing to inhibit his use of the unique qualities of watercolor to depict the dramatic effects of light on his subjects but profoundly informs his comprehensive knowledge of the medium. Paintings of Colorado, and the Cotswolds, England, are
among his favorite locations and portraits of buildings are a specialty.
He has also achieved success in the art of fused glass, lending a further dimension to his artistic expression. His appreciation of design, composition and technology has led to a successful line of art glassware currently represented by six Colorado galleries.
Cuin has attended watercolor workshops with international artists Tom Lynch, AWS, Tony Couch, AWS, and prominent Australian artists David Taylor, AWIFVAS, and Joseph Zbukvic. Studying also with New Jersey artists Ruth Wilson, Betty Stroppel WPA, Ron Lent, Edwin Havas, AWS, and Robert Sakson, AWS, he has exhibited his award-winning watercolors in New Jersey and Colorado and has work in private collections in the USA and Britain. Cuin is a former Vice President of the Somerset Art Association, NJ, and a former member of the Roxbury Art Association, NJ. He is a Past President and Member of the Evergreen Artistsí Association (EAA), serving on the Board for nine years. He has also served on the
Boards of various art organizations including the Arts Council and the Art Center Advisory Board. For more than a decade, he has taught watercolor classes and workshops for the EAA, the Evergreen Parks & Recreation Dept., and the Center for the Arts in Evergreen, and also teaches privately. David is a Signature Member of the Colorado Watercolor Society and founded Evergreen's Open Studio Tour.
