ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR
Julia Woli Scott
creates atmospheric and delicately layered paintings of the natural world that shift and quietly loosen to reveal their materiality. These gestural depictions of human, plant, and animal forms inhabit dream-like abstracted landscapes and traverse metaphoric terrain to explore questions of healing generational & personal trauma.

We will focus on light and shadow and the importance of values. You will also learn other tricks that will make your pastels sing.

Artists will be required to work from their own photos unless the instructor provides materials to use. A materials list will be provided upon request. Sometimes the instructor will receive promotional or donated items that she will share with the class.
