sketch a day Barwon heads victoria
Fishing yesterday afternoon off a quiet spot along the Barwon River. It was too windy and really no bites. An hour earlier flatties were being fished. But watching heaps of mud crabs coming in and out of their homes was cool as I sketched the jetty pylons and an old wire seaweedy fence

She is captivated by how the light flickers and dances when working from still life or outdoors. Having studied traditional painting methods under Jenni Mitchell and Mervynn Hannan from Eltham South Fine Art Studios and Gallery has taught Julie many elements of drawing, composition, colour, painting, trying new materials, beautifying the simple things around us.
