Using a rock garden for inspiration, the participant will learn to use "acrylic underpinnings" to anchor the composition and set the stage for vibrant colors in their paintings, painting flowers, moss and the like cunningly sprouting from the cracks and crevices between the rocks. A photo will be provided but the participant is always welcome and encouraged to paint from their own reference material whenever they wish. There will be demonstrations of techniques suitable for the subject, exercises, ongoing critique and lots of painting time. Class time will be structured, yet open enough to accommodate the artistic spirit within us all. All levels are welcome and encouraged to attend. The only prerequisite is an attitude of joy in the act of painting! 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."
