``Medieval Village in Spain`` by Julie G. Pollard - Watercolor
Class Information
Let’s be inspired by this unique medieval village on the Costa Brava in Spain. Pals is a unique village with stone archways, cobblestone streets and wrought balconies adorned with flowers. I will have the pleasure to paint there during my plein-air painting workshop with French Escapade on the Costa Brava scheduled in May 2022. Hope you will join me.
Various techniques will be explored that lend themselves to expressing ourselves with watercolor on this thrilling subject. We will use a photo furnished to you by e-mail. I will be teaching live through Zoom, giving you instruction and critique throughout. Still photos of the painting steps will be send to you via e-mail after the class.
The class is live and interactive on ZOOM

“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.”
