Karin Jurick Workshop

What a wonderful workshop with Karin! She has a very keen eye for color and color mixing and uses a lot of paint colors I have never seen before! She draws like an angel; got to practice some more here. Here is a picture of her palette below. Look at all those colors! and very neat after 4 days of painting!   


Best of all she is very down to earth and helpful to all. I rushed out and bought the camera she recommends and will now go out to all my local haunts and take pictures!
