Instruction will include different pencil strokes, blending, layering colors, and burnishing, as well as the use of other tools and materials.

Use colored pencils to achieve realistic color and texture in your drawing of your  subject be it animal, plant, landscape, shiny or rusty cars, or a glass vase of flowers!  Returning students will continue learning and refining techniques, try new subjects and textures or surfaces.

VIRTUAL CLASS - Watercolor Unleashed: Cast Shadow as a Compositional Device with Julie Gilbert Pollard

Cast shadows can serve as a dramatic enhancement to liven up an otherwise lackluster scene, though often tricky to paint. A photo of an interesting scene with equally interesting cast shadows will be used for the demo and a photo will be provided for your use - but you are always welcome to paint from your own reference material whenever you wish.

There will be demos, instruction and individual critique throughout the Zoom class. 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!

All Levels | Tuesdays 1:00 - 4:00 pm | March 22 – April 26, 2021  | 6 sessions |  $210
