Expressionism Vol 2 Workshop
Dive deep into the expressive world of mark making with Julie Prichard in this immersive, techniques-focused workshop. Across four complete paintings filmed start to finish, you'll discover how intentional marks—gestural, layered, and bold—can transform an abstract composition from flat to alive. Each painting is thoughtfully designed to build your skills progressively, so you'll finish with a stronger visual language and the confidence to bring expressive mark making into your own work.
These paintings hold the key.
These four paintings are your creative blueprints. Julie encourages you to paint along with her directly—copying each composition is a powerful way to internalize the techniques before making them your own. Once you've worked through the paintings, you'll have a solid foundation of skills ready to carry into your daily studio practice.
Composition in every stroke.
Composition is woven into every painting in this workshop. As Julie works through each piece in real time, she discusses the decisions behind every mark—where to place them for impact, how to create movement, and where to let the eye rest so the composition can breathe. These principles apply whether you're working with bold gestural strokes or subtle layered passages, and learning to balance them will elevate everything you paint.
Light without losing depth.
Reaching for white to calm a busy painting is an easy fix—but it flattens your work and erases the history beneath it. In this workshop, Julie shows you how to achieve luminous, light passages without losing depth or dimension. By mastering the interplay between opaque and transparent paint, even your lightest areas will have richness and complexity that white alone can never give you.
“Julie Prichard I love rewatching your courses over and over and practicing the techniques!” — Tammy M.
“I love how you tell it all while painting. It’s so helpful and I love your work” — Rosa V.
“I learned so much from Julie’s online classes. She not only teaches a man to fish (so to speak), she explains WHY the man fishes and how he might do it better, more authentically, and with his own vision in mind. I recommend her teaching skills and class value to anyone who wants to grow & develop as an artist.” — Liz D.
“I taken a few workshops, some more expensive, some the same. I NEVER HAD the attention I am getting from you! I really appreciate your help and the care you give. TY!” — Maria A.
