About Julia

Watercolor Artist and Sketcher

Hello! And thank you for visiting! I've been drawing and painting my whole life, but only recently started to make it a daily practice after I finished homeschooling my daughter. I love watercolors because of the way they move and combine on the page, and the unpredictable results. Portraits are my favorite subject; I think watercolors are the perfect medium to portray the luminosity of faces.

Over the past ten years I've taken numerous painting classes at the Yellow Barn Studio, Glen Echo, MD, and lately have been taking classes with a variety of instructors online.
