About the Artist: Cathi began her career in watercolor when she attended a class similar to this one during a resort vacation. She’s been painting ever since. She’ll share some color basics, and how to get the desired color from just a few different hues. You don’t have to know how to draw, just be able to put paint on paper. Like Monet, she takes much of my inspiration from nature. Flowers, forests, sunsets and seascapes, animals and yes, the occasional rusty truck and boat and old bottle, feed her addiction to fill the page or canvas with color. Enjoys her art with the knowledge that it was created with joy and passion. She's always enjoyed drawing, and took required basic art classes in college, never dreaming that she would have a talent for painting. Since painting her first watercolor in 2017, she has taken many classes and paints every day. Cathi loves to paint a variety of subjects, especially peoples’ beloved pets. Watercolors are her passion, but she has enjoyed dabbling in acrylics and oils. Cathi loves the softness of watercolor and also the ability to create bold and vibrant colors. She loves flowers and all manner of natural subjects, and finds many inspirations while walking the dog in her beautiful neighborhood, or while hiking and golfing . Peoples’ pets are a delight to paint, and she loves capturing their unique spirits. All supplies are included in the class fee. Fee $60.00 Food and Drink available to purchase, not included in class fee.
