As a\u00a0teacher it is very important to recharge the batteries, not only by continuing personal painting\u00a0practice, but also by pushing the creative boundaries, jumping in at the deep end and\u00a0working to continue learning. Attending the GCA meant putting myself on the line &#8211; and\u00a0working very hard. I met some amazing and interesting people, all of whom were open and\u00a0willing to share their experiences, passing on their knowledge with generosity and modesty.<\/p>\n<p>I began asking if any of them would be interested in coming to the British Isles to\u00a0teach. They were so enthusiastic that I had to STOP asking, for they all wanted to come!\u00a0So, time for me to make my vision a reality&#8230;!\u00a0I am so delighted to tell you that later in the summer 2014 I am hosting a symposium to\u00a0celebrate (and teach) drawing &#8211; a weekend of talks, demonstrations and workshops, with\u00a0some amazing artists from round the world, including, among others, award winning illustrator\u00a0PJ Lynch, Paul Foxton, a painter who writes a wonderful educational art blog, and\u00a0Colleen Barry from New York who has been described as one of the greatest painters today.<\/p>\n<p>I met some of Colleen\u2019s students when I was in New York and their faces lit up at the\u00a0mention of her name &#8211; she is a much loved teacher.\u00a0The event is for everyone, from beginner to experienced artists. All the artists participating\u00a0are gifted teachers, this will be a learning experience of a lifetime and I feel honoured and\u00a0excited to be hosting it. I will also be teaching a figure drawing workshop as part of the\u00a0weekend.<\/p>\n<p>For your interest, please take a look and consider coming. I wish there had been something\u00a0like this when I started my learning journey. Such a variety of artists, together at one\u00a0time, is rare indeed.\u00a0As a professional artist, I think it is good for students to know that most artists don\u2019t have\u00a0the opportunity of making contact with people who admire their work. If artists sell in galleries,\u00a0they often don\u2019t meet anyone apart from the galley owner.\u00a0If you, as a student, are interested in meeting like minded people, I urge you to come and\u00a0join in. It will be lighthearted while you work, you will learn LOTS, and make many new\u00a0friends.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/draw-in.co.uk\/\">www.draw-in.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Julie Douglas<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/draw-in-symposium-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3122\" alt=\"draw-in-symposium (3)\" src=\"http:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/draw-in-symposium-3.jpg\" width=\"644\" height=\"827\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/draw-in-symposium-3.jpg 644w, https:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/draw-in-symposium-3-233x300.jpg 233w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 644px) 100vw, 644px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/draw-in-symposium-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3123\" alt=\"draw-in-symposium (1)\" src=\"http:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/draw-in-symposium-1.jpg\" width=\"644\" height=\"518\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/draw-in-symposium-1.jpg 644w, https:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/draw-in-symposium-1-300x241.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 644px) 100vw, 644px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/draw-in-symposium-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3124\" alt=\"draw-in-symposium (2)\" src=\"http:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/draw-in-symposium-2.jpg\" width=\"644\" height=\"518\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/draw-in-symposium-2.jpg 644w, https:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/draw-in-symposium-2-300x241.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 644px) 100vw, 644px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My name is Julie Douglas and I am a professional artist and tutor and I teach for the London Art College running their Coloured Pencil Course.
