Dawson’s painting technique includes playing with warm tones against cool hues. .He classifies his work as “New Impressionism” with relationships playing the central role in his paintings.

The inks can be printed as rich impastos or thin transparent glazes. The result is a print that is both vivid in hue and displays a rich tactile surface.
