Cat Plate - Watercolor Still Life

for Intermediate Level

Learn easy techniques and the best colors for great believable shadows, plus simple leaves that are quick to paint and look like ivy in this cute cat plate still life from my kitchen window.

Work large for easier painting - an 11 x 14 outline page is included that you print the top and bottom, then combine.

Hi, I'm Deb Watson.

My story is simple. I loved creating art from childhood, but was discouraged from pursuing art by my parents. So, I became a nurse, but kept painting.

I knew nothing about art, but taught myself over time and became a very successful artist, with hundreds of awards. Although my art and how to paint techniques are well known (in over a dozen books and online), I'm just a down to earth person.

I've always enjoyed teaching others how to paint with watercolor - sharing the joy!

Join me in your own personal journey into painting. My online lessons and zoom classes will teach you how to see and paint like an artist. No matter what your favorite subject is, you'll find it here - or email me your suggestions and I'll include a class in the future.

Happy Painting.

These white roses are very similar to the pink ones and beautiful in their own way. (From Chanticleer Garden In southeastern Pennsylvania.)
