Returning for the 2nd year in 2011
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 oil and watercolor (watercolor on either paper or canvas) that will add considerably to your repertoire of painting techniques! Julie will provide photos for class use or you are welcome to use your own reference material. There will be demos in all three mediums, critique and lots of painting time. WATCH A 6 MINUTES VIDEO WORKSHOP WITH JULIE 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.” Julie is the author of Brilliant Color: Painting Vibrant Outdoor Scenes, North Light Books, 2009. Additional publications include Watercolor Unleashed! Innovative Options for the Water-media Painter, 2009, and articles in: How Did You Paint That? 100 Ways to Paint Landscapes, International Artist, 2004; Watercolor ’92, Fall Issue; The Artist’s Magazine, September 1987. 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. A frequent award winner, Julie’s oils and watercolors have hung in numerous juried and gallery exhibits. Her work is included in many private and corporate collections and is represented in Arizona by Esprit Decor Gallery in Phoenix & Windrush Gallery in Sedona.

Wet & Wild! Learn to make water look wet, reflective and splashy. Choosing watercolor, oil or acrylic as your primary medium, study water in its various forms: from cascading waterfall to babbling brook to glassy reflection. Painting water that looks wet requires some basic knowledge of the dynamics of how water moves and how objects are reflected in its shiny surface. You will learn techniques that address the various puzzles with which the artist is faced when painting this stunning, fascinating - and yes, confusing - subject! Teaching Medium: watercolor OR oil with acrylic as adjunct to either watercolor or oil or by itself.
