So nice to see Kathy Braud's work in the Brainerd Dispatch this morning! Kathy is our featured artist for February. Stop out and meet her on Feb. 13th at our Second Saturday events.

Today was the day! 2/13/2016 Cold, clear, sunny and minus wind chill!
I was at the Crossing Arts Alliance for 4 + hours and enjoyed my stay and demo time and did a lot of talking to the folks who came to the art center.
I showed the guests how to add paint, make colors choices and answered questions.

My greeting cards were opportunities for folks to view a whole variety of my works and subject topics.
The Gallery had a wonderful display of my framed works hanging on the walls and display props.... which looked very nice.

I had also provided a padded print stand to display unframed originals of varying sizes..... which really increased the amount of images on display.
All in all, this community has had a taste of Kathy Braud art!

Great news! I have an over-the-phone Radio Interview coming up!
Thursday, February 11th at 8:10 with Northern Community Radio KAXE | KBXE during their Morning Show that day. They plan to give a head’s up about my demo and meet & greet on Feb. 13th with the Crossing Arts Feature Event for February. The Northern Community Radio studios are based in Grand Rapids and Bemidji, Minnesota.

Alauna Yust | Producer says:
I have looked through your work on the web extensively, and I can hardly believe you work in watercolor. It is just so bold and colorful! I can’t wait to learn more about your work.

Feb 11, 2016 - Kathy says - The radio news team did a great job interviewing me and asking questions that the listeners might like to know about. They were also looking at my FAA site and enjoying my painting images while we were talking. One of my friends even heard the interview on the radio and sent me an email of congratulations! I felt like a celebrity!

Four Clucks, a watercolor original, received an Award of Excellence in the Northern Showcase exhibition at Blaine City Hall, Blaine, MN. The show judge, Pat Undis, had lovely comments to say about the light, values, composition and color. This show is on display Nov 2 - 27, 2015 during regular building hours.

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
