Julie Cohn will demonstrate her watercolor portrait expertise with a focus on lips, (always expressive!) at the El Cerrito Art Association meeting at 7:00 pm on May 8 in the Garden Room of the El Cerrito Community Center.
Julie is a local watercolor artist with an active studio in Berkeley, and an instructor at College of Marin, Kentfield.
An innovative art instructor, she enjoys helping others find and develop their own creativity. For her, watercolor is a transforming medium, one that can penetrate to the soul of a portrait. Continually in search of meaning and depth in her artwork, Julie seeks to go beyond conventional portraiture to elevate and celebrate the unique qualities in each subject.
