VIRTUAL CLASS – WATERCOLOR UNLEASHED: PAINTING FROM SUMMER VACATION with Julie Gilbert Pollard and Shemer Art Center
Dates/Time: Sept. 26, Oct. 5, 12, 19, 26th, 2021, 1:00 – 4:00PM, 5 Tuesday afternoons
Medium: Watercolor
Details: VIRTUAL CLASS with Shemer Art Center: In this class, students will combine the “reality” of the landscape with 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 their viewer. Students will learn to use unexpected color combinations in unpredictable ways to convey how they see AND feel about the world we live in. Technique will be studied also, as a necessary component to the “big picture” of landscape painting.
A photo will be provided for the student’s use for the first class study. Students will bring their own reference materials for the remainder of the class. Demonstrations of techniques will be given with a dual camera set-up 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!
All Levels Welcome.
Tuition: $175.00

“Oil and Watercolor Plein Air Painting Workshop in Spain with Julie Gilbert Pollard”
Dates: 7-day workshop, May 14-21, 2022
Passports: if you are considering joining Julie for this workshop and travelling from the U.S., be certain your Passport is up to date! Reports at this time are it’s taking many months to get a renewal or new Passport. Do it now, or very soon!
Join Julie Gilbert Pollard for a wonderful week of plein air painting on the beautiful coast of Northern Spain, the Costa Brava, near Barcelona!
Let Spain seduce you! Costa Brava, where the mountains meet the sea, is the setting of this exciting painting tour in the province of Gerona. Craggy cliffs, sandy coves, pristine beaches but also medieval villages and botanical garden, all await to be painted and experienced. This region was also the home and setting for the surreal world of Salvador Dali. The magical Barcelona will also be part of this unique plein-air painting workshop in Spain.
Class Description: In this plein air workshop, you will visit inspiring locations, learning to interpret them into your personal visual expression. Expect sight-seeing, photo-sketching, sketching and “light” plein air painting using minimal equipment that is easy to carry in a medium-size backpack”.
“During the plein air sessions, I will alternate watercolor-on-paper and watercolor-as-prep-for-oil painting demos on canvas boards pre-coated with Watercolor Ground. I will demonstrate and coach you through methods and techniques that have proven invaluable in learning to distill a scene into its most simple format, leading to studio paintings that retain that illusive “plein air feel”.
All levels are welcome. Classes will be small, so Julie will have ample time to help students work toward individual goals.
