Learn how to make water look wet and splashy! With an intimate woodsy creek as our inspiration, students will study water in motion. Painting water that looks wet requires some basic knowledge of the dynamics of how water moves and splashes. Reference photos will be supplied or students may use their own. Studio lessons will focus on: color theory, simplified; cascading, splashing water; learning to use minimal "acrylic underpinnings" to set the stage for vibrant colors in your paintings (the small amount of fluid acrylic necessary for this technique will be supplied); negative painting exercises for the watercolorist. There will be demos, instruction, critique and lots of painting time. Class time will be structured, yet open enough to accommodate the artistic spirit within us all. www.juliegilbertpollard.com

Pollard, Julie Gilbert

Julie Gilbert Pollard paints in oil and watercolor in a fluid, painterly manner. Her painting style, while representational, is colored with her own personal concept of reality. "The eye may see as a camera 'sees', but the mind's eye sees an altered, imagined image, what it wants and hopes to see. It's that illusive image uniquely mine, along with a heightened sense of 'realness' that I try to express in my paintings. This world of ours is often a frightening and mysterious place, but it is filled with scenes and subjects that excite my eye and imagination! The magical allure of the natural world, and my reverence for it, compel me to attempt to capture its essense on canvas or paper."
