What a great group of artists!!!  We had such a great time getting to know one another and hope we can see all of you again soon.

It was an absolutely wonderful workshop!!!  Thank you Jennifer Stone.

Bagley Area Arts Collaborative hosted a three-day watercolor workshop facilitated by Michael Holter of Plano, TX on August 20, 21 & 22 at the Fireside Grille and Patio. The workshop was entitled “Painting a Portrait From a Photo”. Artists from as far away as Duluth and St. Cloud gathered in Bagley for the workshop.  The artists were presented with several new painting skills including: glazing, layering skin tones, hair, killing whites, layering watercolors, dry brush, and fluid painting. 
 
Michael Holter is an award-winning artist who works in watercolor and oil. His paintings can be found in private and corporate collections in the US and several foreign countries.
