About Me
- Julio Rodrigues
- Julio Rodrigues was born in Portugal and emigrated to the United States (New Jersey) in 1978. After a career in the engineering field, watercolor painting is his favorite hobby. He is a self-taught artist who likes to work primarily with transparent watercolor due to the freshness and luminosity of the medium. He also works with pen and ink, and pencil, sometimes combining these media. His favorite subjects are buildings and townscapes of historical interest. In his watercolor paintings, he strives for transparency and strong light and shadow contrasts with as few layers of paint as possible. His greatest challenge is to arrive at just the right amount of detail without overworking the painting. Exhibitions and Awards: 2020 Best Overall Artwork Award, Forks Area Art Society, Easton, Pennsylvania, May 2020; 2017 The Gallery at St. John’s, Easton PA, solo exhibition, Easton: Watercolors And Other Thoughts; 2008 Second place plus Honorable mention, Fur Fin and Feather Festival, Middleton TN; 2007 Burch Library, solo exhibition Collierville TN; 2004 Selected artist, Fedex Forum Permanent Lobby Mural, (Memphis, TN);
I hope you had as much fun doing this as I have looking at it.
ReplyDeleteI check your blog daily, so I don't feel too guilty about doing this.
ReplyDeleteConsider yourself tagged for Christmas.
Last week, or was it the week before, I was TAGGED. My wife has since given up on me, convinced I will not follow up as directed. But, I am a thoughtful, deliberate man and need to think things out very carefully before I respond to the challenge of revealing 5 things about myself, and then tagging five other bloggers.
Merry Christmas and keep the delightful sketches coming.
These line drawings are very nice. I really like all of your posts and your site is nice and simple to view. I also love ink and watercolor. There is something about the two together that makes for a unique appearance in a piece of art. Glad I discovered your site and you are bookmarked. I will be seeing you in 2008.
