Gail Borden

September 22, 2013 by Julie Gilbert Pollard

“Thank you for such a quick and thorough response to my email inquiring about your notebook. My order will be in the mail tomorrow – Monday – but I want to tell you that I spent the most thoroughly enjoyable, exciting day yesterday. Aside from feeding my dog & cats, I spent the WHOLE DAY doing nothing else but watching your videos, taking notes & reviewing your books! What a good day it was!

Thank you for being so generous with your tips and information. Love the idea of using a palette knife for masking…not only to save brushes but to be able to do more delicate masking. And your acrylic way of establishing the darks first is genius…what a problem solver that is. I can’t even find words to describe how much I love the colorful way you paint – it makes your paintings so alive and joyful!

You mentioned in your email that many people print out your “tips” & add them to their WBU binders. I couldn’t find a blog listed for you anywhere so I’m guessing that you were referring to the (many!) tips you give in your videos? If so I’m already ‘on it’!”

Warmest regards,
~Gail

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.
