WATERCOLOR UNLEASHED! Paint a Waterfall with Wildflowers: Julie Gilbert Pollard | Online | Watercolor

Learn to paint water that looks wet, reflective, and splashy. With a stunning waterfall as your model, paint water as it cascades, then splashes around and over the rocky streambed, with – of course – wildflowers getting in on the act! Techniques will be demonstrated to address the various puzzles with which the artist is faced when painting this stunning, fascinating and challenging subject!

• Basic “anatomy” of a waterfall…
• Learn to paint rocks that look solid and hard…
• Paint splashy wildflowers growing along the stream…
• The painting process – keeping it manageable…
• Watercolor methods and techniques that apply to the subject-matter…
• Negative painting lessons for watercolor…
• Creative use of color – color mixing - painting with green - “using color as value” (as seen in her North Light Books and Videos)… 
• Aiming for a plein air “feel” and sensitivity in your painting when working from photos.

There will be demos, instruction at all levels, critique and lots of painting time. 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!
