Watercolor paintings are often technically good but still lacking spark and freshness – it’s a challenge we all face, with watercolor often becoming “the muddy medium”. This class will focus on:
• Fresh, clean color
• Intuitive negative painting
• Incorporating soft lost edges and sharp found edges
• Spontaneous, sure brushwork
• Stronger composition and design

Flowers and scenery will be our subject matter. A photo will be provided for your use but you are always welcome and encouraged to paint from your own reference material whenever you 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
• Please note there will be No Class Aug. 11

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."
