Julie Gilbert Pollard




At the March meeting of Vanguard Artists, we were honored to have Julie Gilbert Pollard share her techniques for painting both oils and watercolors. She begins both of these projects by blocking in the darkest shapes to anchor them and then continues on painting either in oil or watercolor over the underpainting. Very interesting! The results she shared with us were a testament for that approach working well for her!
