Watch as Rachael captures the boats, shoreline, and shimmering reflections in real time—quickly composing the scene, blocking in bold shapes, and building rich color and value with expressive, confident brushwork.

The public is invited. Free.

Jill & Rachel Rae want to say to the team: Here's our massive shoutout to the Joy & Co staff — the legendary, craft‑wielding, chaos‑herding superheroes who keep this place from spontaneously combusting into a glitter tornado.

We could not do this with out you!

This is from, Jim :
I want to thank you for the wonderful treasure bag of goodies I received as the “People’s Choice Award” winner at the Minnesota Watercolor Society spring show. I love all the fun gifts and will put them to good use. I actually gave you a shout out at last weeks demo I did for the society for rescuing me when I was teaching a “Big Brush” watercolor class during last years plein air event and forgot my “big brushes”. i bought some replacements at your store and am still using them, happy to get more!!
Thanks again,
Jim Turner
