Julie Gilbert Pollard SDWS June 7 – 12, 2009 (Four Teaching Days)
New to Dillman’s Use Acrylic Underpinnings to create vibrant colors in your landscape paintings. Since you may choose —if you like—to use oils rather than watercolor to finish your acrylic-used-as-watercolor beginnings, this class might easily be called “oil painting for the watercolorist.” Julie often begins a watercolor and an oil painting in exactly the same way: with dark acrylic accents. The benefits of this method are numerous and enable you to get your painting “off the ground” very quickly. It’s a unique approach to both watercolor and oil that will add considerably to your repertoire of painting techniques! Phoenix artist, 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 essence on canvas or paper.” Garden “portraits” are a specialty of hers, as are her lovingly rendered Arizona landscapes. She has given instruction in watercolor and oil since 1985. She currently conducts classes and workshops at Scottsdale Artists' School, West Valley Art Museum and Cynthia’s Art Asylum, as well as occasional “remote location” workshops.
