Linda Schroeter, an artist living in Sonoma County and director of the Russian River Atelier, was recently featured in the fine art TV show episode “Colour In Your Life” about painting, drawing, art workshops, art tips and art techniques.

Since the color is printed on the label, it is, of course, only an approximation of the actual color inside.
