“WATERCOLOR UNLEASHED – A LANDSCAPE OF CLIFFS, ROCKS & BOULDERS” –
Live Zoom online class with Scottsdale Artists’ School and Julie Gilbert Pollard
Dates & Times: June 7 – July 12, 2022, 6 Tuesday classes, 1PM – 4PM

Details: ROCKS, PEBBLES, BOULDERS, CLIFFS: the “bedrock” of landscape painting. Creating the shapes and depth of individual rocks and rocky outcroppings, learning to combine many rocks and pebbles into a single collective shape that says “rock” without detailing each is crucial to successful landscape painting. This class will focus on the challenge of painting a landscape in which rocks, boulders and cliffs are a significant feature.

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!

“Watercolor Unleashed: Painting from Photos” – Virtual Class via Zoom
Dates & Times: Aug. 23-30th, 2022, 2 Tuesday afternoons, 1-4PM Phoenix time
Medium: Watercolor
Details: The focus of this online Zoom class will be to combine the “reality” of the landscape as seen by the camera with the passion brought to it from memory and imagination. By concentrating on shape and value as the most important of the building blocks of painting, students will use “color-as-value” to stimulate an emotional response from the viewer. Students will learn to use unexpected color combinations in unpredictable ways to convey how they see AND feel about the world. Technique will be studied also, as a necessary component to the “big picture” of landscape painting.
A photo will be provided for students to use for the first class study. Bring reference material for the following class. There will be demonstrations of techniques suitable for the subject matter, exercises, critique and lots of painting time. All levels are welcome and encouraged to attend. Class time will be structured, yet open enough to accommodate the artistic spirit within us all. The only prerequisite is an attitude of joy in the act of painting!
Available – – ONLY 10 spaces maximum!
