VIEW by Julie Gilbert Pollard: ``Under Seascape`` - Watercolor
Paint the world’s “inner-space” and some of its fantastical residents. Various techniques will be explored that lend themselves to expressing ourselves with watercolor on this thrilling subject.

There will be live demos through Zoom and still photos of the painting steps via e-mail, with instruction and critique throughout.

“Jackie, the courses and quality of instructors you have cultivated through French Escapade V.I.E.W. is world-class. Jackie, you do such a great job hosting the program — you are on top of your game with production quality, responsiveness with quick replay links, and also announcing upcoming events to students. A side benefit is your fun, wickedly sharp and entertaining sense of humor. Keep up the great work. I’m not surprised that V.I.E.W. is expanding and doing so well.”
