About Julie

I love teaching and I have been teaching watercolor painting and drawing for 30 years. Here is what sets me apart from other painting and watercolor painting instructors:

I am very organized and I like teaching concepts as well as techniques. For example, I developed my own watercolor method to help students thoroughly know how to use watercolor to achieve the results they want, loose or more controlled styles, and I focus on understanding why a technique is used so that students learn to think on their own, versus just copying what I am demonstrating.

I have expertise in all subjects, including portraiture and abstracts. Because I vary my subjects, students want to learn from me for many years.

I am represented in galleries and have shown in many museums nationally. My art is shown in many public and private venues. My websites are: juliecohnartinstruction.com and juliecohnfineart.com.

First of all, I adore watercolor painting. I love water. I love color. I love the surprises that watercolor brings and the conversation I have with this flowing medium.

As well, I am a people person. I really enjoy being with people and having a good time with them. Art brings such a positive feeling to all of us when we paint together. I enjoy discussions with students and seeing that they feel excited about their growth as artists.

Watercolor provides not only a great creative outlet, it is a great teacher. One learns to watch and wait, to dance in conversation and sometimes let watercolor, the dancing partner, lead.

I first taught at a camp as a substitute art teacher. I loved it, and so freelanced as a teacher at community centers. Eventually I earned a teaching credential for college level and then started to teach at the College of Marin, where I have been teaching for over 19 years. I teach in my own studio in Berkeley and at the Marin Society of Artists.

About the lesson

  • All levels
  • English

All languages in which the lesson is available :

English

First I ask the students to share their artwork with me and/or past experiences with art. The first lesson corresponds to where they are in their art journey.



I have worked with students as young as 4 and as old as 92.

Each student has a different need - to paint for recreation, to use painting as a therapy for difficult times, to seriously study a technique and subject over a long period of time.



Keep an open mind to new things and be gentle on yourself.

Give yourself time to develop an understanding of this beautiful painting medium.

If you focus on one subject for a year, ie, landscape, you can get really good at it.



I so enjoyed the opening for a recent group art show in a gallery in Lafayette. My paintings were featured with photographers who also loved working with luminosity in their work.



A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Do I want to paint often during the week?

Do I want to invest in some high quality supplies so that I can excel in this painting medium?

Do I want to develop a network of painting friends who can be a good support to me?

Do I want to do homework so that I can grow as an artist?
