BRIGHTS!
Discover the secrets behind deeply vibrant, luminous abstracts with Julie Prichard, contemporary abstract colorist based in San Diego, CA. In this online workshop, Julie guides you step-by-step through two complete acrylic paintings, pulling back the curtain on the techniques that create extraordinary depth, clarity, and richness of color.
No trend chasing content.
The techniques taught in this workshop are rooted in foundational painting skills — not trends. What you learn here becomes part of your permanent artistic toolkit, giving you the confidence to apply these methods to your own work again and again, long after the workshop ends.
Layering and editing does not have to equal mud.
Editing and layering doesn't have to mean muddy color. Learn to work with a fixed palette of carefully selected pigments to layer, adjust, and refine your compositions while maintaining vibrancy and clarity — then use that knowledge to build your own custom palettes for life.
Authentic process. Real results.
The sample paintings in this workshop are filmed in real time, giving you an authentic look at the full creative process — including the thought process, decision making, and troubleshooting that happens along the way. There are no shortcuts or perfect takes, just honest painting you can learn from and apply directly to your own work.
