October 16, 2009 by Julie Gilbert Pollard

“‘You can bet it won’t be brown!’, Julie told us as she painted a tree trunk.  Sure enough, the purples, oranges. and golds pushed down on the paper.  We watched as the delicious color flowed from her brush.  Julie helped us to see beyond the realistic photo image–to express an exciting, colorful painting.  Her easy, comfortable teaching style usually started with a “warm-up” to ease our grip on the brush, and a demonstration of her artist’s vision as well as the challenge to explore new ideas.  I would recommend any artist to ‘splash paint’ along with Julie!”

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.
