WATERCOLOR UNLEASHED: Freshen Up Your Watercolors with Julie Gilbert Pollard
Watercolor paintings are often 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 & sharp found edges, incorporating gouache or acrylic as needed to freshen the painting, and stronger composition & design.
Landscape scenes 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!
(Watercolor – with Gouache or Acrylic welcome to be used as needed)
