Notebook

Watercolor Unleashed is evolving! It is now (2013) a North Light Book. Never the less, this chapter-at-a-time self-published version – now called “Watercolor Unleashed! The Notebook” – continues as an ongoing work-in-progress. A very fluid book in more than one respect, the pages are designed for a loose-leaf ring binder in which to also store class hand-outs, small studies, articles, my occasional “painting tips” emails, etc. In this manner, you will build a multi-faceted book that is unique.

Watercolor Unleashed, New Directions for Traditional Painting Techniques from North Light contains much, but not all, of chapters 1 through 4, plus a whole lot more. Chapter 5 is completely different material from the North Light book. I have also filmed five Watercolor Unleashed Videos with North Light—also different material, though following similar themes.

“The Notebook” is not intended to be a comprehensive book on watercolor but contains chapters that explain and demonstrate ideas and methods that I present in classes and workshops that you may not find in other watercolor books—in depth and in color of a quality I’m not able to give as informational class hand-outs.

Since most of you who take my painting classes are watercolor painters, many of you have been disappointed that my first North Light book, Brilliant Color, is a book on oil painting. I must thank everyone for being so supportive of Brilliant Color, and particularly, you watercolor people, for embracing a book not written for your medium. Thank you, thank you—this is for you!

The chapters and binder for this learning tool are available separately or assembled, at the following prices, which include sales tax in Arizona and free shipping (first class or media rate) anywhere in the U.S.

Purchases include Julie’s autograph and a personalized inscription (please include desired phrase with your order).

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.
