Julie’s teaching has completely transformed how I see and paint the world—guiding me to recognize and layer the subtle “notes” of light in a way that brings color to life. Her class is both creatively challenging and deeply therapeutic, something I look forward to every week as it continues to expand my vision and love of painting.
I had never painted before I began taking Julie’s class and now painting is a favorite part of my week. I love how Julie teaches me to put color and light onto canvas. Julie challenges me every class to slow down, to see, and to capture the essence of the subject we are painting.
I’ve been a student of Julie Brayton Fine Art for almost a year. One thing that I’ve wanted to achieve in my paintings is the contrast of light and shadow, because my paintings always seemed flat to me. Julie has shown me some great exercises to achieve that in her course “Painting the Color of Light”! I now have begun to notice the difference of colors when in light or in shadow. It hasn’t been easy and I still struggle, but Julie is always there to give individual attention and encouragement. Thank you Julie for all your help! – Stephen Lagace
