Fresh packed snow picks up every color, light or dark based on natural sunlight or even on an overcast day. In this session, we will learn to simplify shapes in the landscape, then working from dark to light, mix the neutrals we see in snow from grays to beautiful violets.  Bold Brush moves with your brush give depth and volume to the forms in the snow.

Take a deep dive into the world of watercolor with artist Karen Elaine. Learn valuable watercolor techniques and skills while discovering the joy of watercolor, letting go, and finding meaning through creativity. Karen will also show you how to create handmade watercolor journals to record your watercolor experiences and discoveries.

Experience the beauty and magic of Sedona, as we learn to navigate through some of the iconic formations which make Sedona the world’s most desired place to visit.

Discover the special palette of color used to create the vivid reds  in the Rod Rocks and why toning is very important in the beginning!

Please plan to work in a small format and use 2- 8×10 panels or 2-8×8.  Use these small scale oil sketches for larger paintings.

In three weekly online sessions, experience how to let the paint sing, navigate the “beautiful mess,” and bring your abstract painting to fulfilled completion—without losing its life force and what makes it beautiful. For all levels of experience.

Julie also is teaching ONLINE-The Living Abstract: Including Imagery in Your Abstract Painting on three consecutive Fridays, July 12, 19 & 16.
