BRRRR!
Hello again...I hope this finds you safe and warm! Here in eastern
Nebraska we are on yet another winter weather advisory with more snow
and ice on the way tonight and tomorrow. I'm so ready for spring and
looking forward to getting back outside to paint!
Here's the latest news from the studio and gallery...including my just
released workshop and open studio schedule for 2019, and a special
event in downtown Ralston, our first ever "Chocolate Walk," this
Saturday, February 9th (details below).
Thanks so much for your time, your friendship and your support of my
art and my gallery...I am grateful for you! I hope to see you at an
event, exhibition, a workshop or at my gallery soon!
Warmest wishes,
Debra

nearly always struggle with: value and color. Day one will focus on
values through a number of different exercises in black, white and
gray. On day two we will explore color, including, by popular demand,
how to mix a variety of GREENS! On day three we will work on both value
and color together. This is an indoor workshop.
