Live in the Studio with Julia Trickey

Virtual Studio Visits: Live in the Studio with Julia Trickey
* Wednesday, November 8, 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm

As part of ASBA’s 26th Annual International, we’ll visit with internationally renowned artist Julia Trickey in her UK studio. The one-hour session will allow 45 minutes of tour and demonstration, and 15 minutes for a Q & A. Sessions can be viewed live or on demand for two weeks following live airing.

Starting with a studio tour, Julia will point out her ‘must have’ items. She’ll talk about her preference for fading specimens and demonstrate how she approaches such subjects, referring to recent paintings including the painting on display in the 26th Annual, ‘ Glorious Decline – Desiccated Hippeastrum Bulb‘.

Demonstrations will include how Julia mixes browns from a limited range of colors, how to approach complicated elements such as roots, and how to understand and recreated desiccated and translucent elements.

About Julia Trickey
Julia has been a botanical artist for nearly 25 years and a tutor for almost as long. She has received four RHS Gold Medals. She is particularly interested in celebrating less-than-perfect specimens in watercolor, starting with wet-in-wet watercolor techniques then moving on to drier painting methods.

Over the years Julia has experimented with different backgrounds including mottled and black backgrounds, and to challenge herself, she has recently been working on natural vellum.

During the Pandemic she developed and hosted a program of regular online talks by fellow botanical artists, which continue to be popular.
