Breaking Free…

Many painters struggle to develop
a painterly style. To paint with spontaneity and expression over precise details and realism is to paint free and break loose. Cathy will help you achieve this in your own painting of these Bowman’s Birds. Learn how land meets sea in an interesting textured way for these shorebirds.
Her bold colors create a sea that shows a lot of energy. How did Cathy create that look? That will be the real surprise…

June 2026 Program

Just AMAZING!

Cathy had us paint the background texture with two kinds of plastic wrap. First it was just a wadded up sheet to blend the colors on the beach background. Then it was bubble wrap to blend the water background on the left. Every painter had great success and we all left with new techniques. Cathy taught the scary thing, too – mixing colors! Once the background was dry, the pattern was applied, and those laughing gulls she saw on Bowman’s Beach were added. What a lot of fun! Thank you so much Cathy – great job teaching!
