Recorded The Magic of Indirect Painting
Online Pre-Recorded | Available
Join Julie for a magic carpet ride through the world of still life painting. Rooted in the best traditions of atelier training, Julie’s approach honors classical methods while embracing inventive twists including exploring texture, surface effects, and strategic decision-making along the way.
In this recorded webinar, Julie covers:
- Multiple approaches to setting up a still life, including lighting and other key aspects of the physical arrangement
- Color studies and palette development
- The classical indirect painting method
- Modified indirect approaches used to achieve specific effects (wood, solid objects, text, and more)
- A complete painting demonstration from start to finish
Originally taught as a 12-week course meeting three hours per week, this recording offers over 40 hours of in-depth instruction, live painting, and thoughtful discussion. You’ll also see additional painting sessions completed outside of class, allowing you to follow the entire evolution of the work from the first marks to the finished piece. All recording includes the palette action, the painting and the reference.
The final painting shown is the result of this process.
