Enhance Your Life with 5 Days of Drawing and Painting: March 3rd deadline!

Joey by Barbara Benda ©2025

Would you like to fast forward spring with skills that will enhance your life and give you a life-long habit of creating art that is personal and striking?

If you have ever said, “I would love to learn to draw” or “I would love to learn to paint in watercolor,” now is the time to act!  I am offering you 5 days to learn the essentials needed to gain confidence in your drawing and painting skills.   My Beginning Drawing and Watercolor Workshop will be held in Fargo, ND,  on March 10-14th  at the NDSCS campus. This may be the last time I teach this workshop in Fargo, so I am giving you first opportunity to sign up. This workshop is for all levels of learners, ages 15 and up. Registration is due March 2nd.

     Please look at your calendar and plan to discover the joy of sketching and painting in watercolor. Since drawing is integral to success in painting, that is the starting point.   I will walk you through every step, starting with a dot, and move you through essential concepts in painting .  Please download a 2025 Beginning Drawing and Watercolor Workshop Flyer and Supply List  or you may contact me directly with your mailing address to receive a hard copy. I look forward to having a great workshop with you in attendance. Class size is limited to 12, so sign up today to secure your spot!

You are invited to visit Double Trouble Art Gallery for a relaxing shopping experience

Shopping in a relaxing environment? Yes, it’s possible- at Double Trouble Art Gallery in north Moorhead, MN.  My twin sister Beverly and I have original watercolors, acrylics, mixed media collage, including the popular Little Original cards, and specially designed Christmas cards, suitable for framing. Contact me at 218-443-1126 or email me at barbara@barbarabendanagle.com to make your appointment today. In addition to the art on this website, there are hundreds of originals not posted due to the volume of art we produce. If you are interested in taking sketching classes in January or taking my 5 day Beginning Drawing and Watercolor workshop in March, I will be on hand to answer questions. You can download a flyer here for the March workshop information and Supply List.  I look forward to seeing you soon!  – Barbara

Thank you for visiting  Mourning Dove Studio and Double Trouble Gallery at the Studio Crawl in early October. It was a blessing to meet many new folks and see friends again. It was a success because of the people who attended and showed an interest in the sketching demonstrations as well as purchasing art. If you missed this event, please call me as soon as possible to set up an appointment to purchase art before the snow flies. I have hundreds of artworks in various sizes.  Assistance with choosing groupings of art is provided free of charge!
