November Member Meeting/Demo/Workshop
Terrilynn Dubreuil – “Green with Envy”
November 16
Green in a painting can take over like poison! But we would rather handle this color so that others are “green with envy.”
Color, light, and texture convey a balance between impressionism and realism. Terrilynn infuses her work with emotion which causes her artwork to touch others.
Terrilynn has a BFA and has been teaching various media and techniques for thirty-five years, including many Pastel Societies, the Asheville Art Museum and other studios. She is a Master Circle member IAPS, a Signature Member PSA, Signature member and VP of PSME and on the Board of the APS. She exhibits and sells artwork in diverse venues, has received multiple top awards at juried International Shows including BEST IN SHOW for the 2023 IAPS Exhibit and Merit Award for the 2024 IAPS Live Exhibit.
