ROCKS, BOULDERS & PEBBLES: the “bedrock” of landscape painting. Creating the shapes and depth of individual rocks and learning to combine many rocks and pebbles into a single collective shape that says “rocks” without detailing each one is crucial to successful landscape painting. This workshop will focus on the challenge of painting a landscape in which rocks, boulders and pebbles are a significant feature. A photo will be provided for student use but they are always welcome and encouraged to paint from their own reference material. 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 every attendee. 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."
