GUILD OF HARWICH ARTISTS - ARTIST DEMONSTRATION WATERCOLOR PAINTING – JULIE BLANCHARD

The Guild of Harwich Artists demonstration artists in February is Julie Blanchard, a local painter and art teacher.  Julie often paints outdoors (en plein air) using strong color and a variety of techniques to capture the mood and feeling of the day. She allows nature to take a hand in the completed work. Whether it is sand and bugs or ice crystals in winter she makes use of the environment to help capture the moment.
