"Water Lily" by Julie Gilbert Pollard - Watercolor

“Water Lily” by Julie Gilbert Pollard – Watercolor  – V.I.E.W. Live Online Zoom with French Escapade Painting Workshops and Julie Gilbert Pollard

Dates & Times:  Thursday, Friday, May 19-20, 2022, Times:  9AM-12 Noon PDT/MT

Medium:  Watercolor

 Details: Learn to use light, airy washes in multiple transparent colors to paint a white flower in all the colors of the rainbow, yet appear as a “white” flower, with the sun shining through its translucent petals. In addition to using colorful “whites” we will use rich, clean, darker values to set off those beautiful white blooms.

I will be teaching live through Zoom, giving you instruction and critique throughout.  Still photos of the painting steps will be send to you via e-mail after the class.

The painting for the class will be similar but not exactly the same as these 2 examples of Julie’s flowers in watercolor.

My Teaching Philosophy

My goal is to individualize instruction as much as possible. I introduce the basics to the beginning student and work with the more advanced student in gaining a more solid knowledge of those same basic techniques, along with the all-important principles and elements of design. I always try to present material in a logical, practical manner, along with a large dose of encouragement with emphasis on motivation and personal taste. In class, beginning painters will work in a structured manner and ALL levels are encouraged to experiment and practice as much as possible in order to build confidence and experience with methods and materials. Workshops generally focus on a method or subject, while weekly classes may offer basic technique or independent projects with guidance as needed and “class projects” as requested. Whatever the venue, my over-riding objective is to support and assist each person in his or her search for individual artistic personality.
