Art Prints What a wonderful opportunity for me, Kathy Braud!

I was able to attend a 3 day November 2015 watercolor workshop with artist, Andy Evansen, hosted by Minnesota Watercolor Society (MWS). We came together to learn - from as far away at Ely and Little Falls, to artists who live near in the suburbs and twin cities. We gathered in a lovely art meeting room at the Ames Center of Art, Burnsville, MN.
Andy is a master at en plaine aire painting and showed us technique and ease and timing of painting. I just loved the colorful demos, value studies, and how layering the colors and value can made the subject come alive in just 3 simple layers.
Our understanding of making a popping good painting was greatly improved by the end of the class. Fellowship, another reward of engaging in a workshop, includes spending time rubbing elbows with fellow artists - so different then our usual solitary painting experiences at home.
May your future include a demo or workshop! It is so worth the experience.

I am also participating in the Minnesota Watercolor Society (MWS) 2015 Fall Member Show called "Brilliant Passages" of original paintings on display at the Ames Center of Art. This exhibition will be on display Nov 5 - Dec 11, 2015 with an award ceremony on Nov 6, 6 pm - 8:30pm.
My submission is the brilliant watercolor "Pansies in Crystal Vase".

yours in art, Kathy Braud
