EXPANDING ON COLOR
Transform your paintings from flat to phenomenal. Join Julie Prichard for "Expanding on Color," an intensive workshop designed to take you far beyond basic mixing and into the world of beautiful glazing, luminous layering, and expert product knowledge. Whether you want to master the "inner glow" of abstracts or finally organize your palette with Julie’s color swatching method, you’ll gain the technical confidence to stop guessing and start creating with intentional, vibrant depth.
Layer by Layer, Step by Step
You have total freedom to choose your own palette, but true vibrancy depends on how your colors interact. We dive into the essential factors of layering and pigment transparency that make the difference between a glowing finish and a muddy one. We cover these techniques in depth so you can create brilliant work with any colors you love.
No mud. No wasted paint.
Once you master this simple swatching process, your painting sessions become much easier and far more intuitive. You’ll skip the headache of clashing palettes and muddy layers, giving you the freedom to just create. With this foundation, you can paint with total confidence that every color you choose will harmonize beautifully.
Skills for a lifetime of creating
This workshop isn't just about finishing these specific samples; it’s about mastering tangible techniques you will use in every piece you create from now on. We provide the technical foundation that allows you to intermix these glazing and layering methods into your own unique style. These aren't "one and done" projects—they are the keys to a more professional and luminous painting career.

“I am not a serious painter. I’m a dabbler. And I’ve been on the “Julie train” since 2012. I learned so much about products and paints and little tricks to make the painting process fun and unexpected. And Julie was with me every step - even though I’m just a dabbler. And I know that if I had a problem or question, even for the class I bought 11 years ago, she would be right there to answer and to suggest a process for working my way out of the corner I had painted myself into. Don’t give up on yourself. Help is right here. She’s a great teacher. I’ve never regretted jumping in.” — BGME, Verified Purchase
