This CD is just chock-full of information, examples, and step by step demos--lots of exercises to familiarize you with techniques and skills, or let you brush up if you haven't painted for a while!There are 14 instructional PDFs on the CD, plus my bio, a mini-catalog, and more...
I just discovered I have a few extras of this CD, so I'm giving one away to the lucky name I draw from the first 30 people to post here! (Please include your name or some way to contact you privately.)
Below are three examples of the art you'll see:
Watercolor Basics normally sells for $16.99 on my website catalog--feel free to click the link to learn more about it!
I'll have an impartial party (oh, OK, Joseph!) draw the winner's name over the weekend, and ship it to you Priority Mail at the first of next week.
Good luck, and hope you like it!
Heee!! Am I first???

As always, beautiful work, Kate! I have never had a watercolor lesson and would love to learn this medium.....yes, I have only dabbled in it....or rather, played in it....but as far as seriously learning.....not yet. I have only had classes in oils....and picked up the pastels on the side, with intentions of learning the WC techniques. I love the look and the technique, keeping in mind the lack of forgiveness I have always been told was present in the medium. Regardless, I would love to learn, with guidance from the best of the best....and that would be you.
ReplyDeleteOkay Joseph, pick Teri. lol I would love to have this CD and if I don't win I may have to come buy it. It looks marvelous!!
ReplyDeleteOk, Kate...I'll comment! I love blog giveaways. I won a hat from a knitting blog, once. Do you still make ceramics? We were using the square bowl you made this weekend at Redcoats to Rebels at Sturbridge. We put yummy bread on it...
ReplyDeleteI should really try watercolor again...I need something to nudge me along.

ReplyDeleteWell, hopefully I'll be the lucky one drawn! As always, Kate, love all your work and your books. I'm still hopeful for joining you for one of your sketch-crawls or wc paint outs in MO. I'm not so far away that I can't make it even tho Kansas is by far the longest drive, ever! Hope I can see you and J soon. Glad your wandering son returned home.
ReplyDeleteI hope I am a winner! I love your work and your willingness to help those who need advice on everyday matters
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win this CD. I love your work and appreciate your generosity so much. All the tips and techniques you share so willingly are just one example. Thank you.

I'd LOVE to win this DVD! How exciting. I love your work and have for years and years....hope that doesn't give away my age LOL!
ReplyDeleteWell, I am waiting for the next watercolor class, but having this cd sure would give me a head start! Plus I never tire of looking at your wonderful paintings. I can be contacted through ann (at) bluebirdhill (dot) com and will be keeping my fingers crossed :-)
ReplyDeleteHoly cow, I'm blown away by the response! 22 comments, and it's only been on the blog less than 2 hours.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I need to do this more often, I've got a LOT of different CDs...
And Colleen, I don't have access to a kiln, at present, so glad you're enjoying what I was able to do!
I'm so glad I've made it into the first 30. :) Besides, what a great excuse to pop over and look at the art here. I love doorways in general so I was drawn right in by the first post at the top of the page. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteKate this is a GREAT idea! Add me to the hopeful commenters ---
ReplyDeleteok I give!!!! all your stuff is bookmarked so I don't need to be convinced of visiting....and btw I already got everything of yours....ok I think I'm missing a few cd's but geesh I'm already down to Kraft Dinner...is there any further to go?
ReplyDeleteLOL ok I'm outta here...gotta go have my peanut butter!

ReplyDeleteI would love to have one of your CDs!
ReplyDeleteHow nice of you, Kate! I'm hoping you run a watercolour workshop soon, but this would be so lovely in the meantime :)
ReplyDeleteHi Kate;
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for all the hints and tips - and the wonderful books you write. :-)
I'm a faithful follower of your blogs and have taken the watercolor class - it was great!
Deb E
I would love to own the CD Kate.
ReplyDeleteI am patiently ( well not really but trying to be patient) to sign up for one of your classes.
I will feel so blessed either way.
Sallyann Mettler
Always reading your wonderful blogs, Kate! ALWAYS! And of course, drooling ....!
ReplyDeleteHello! I would love to have this CD for my daughter who is a budding young artist in need of guidance. You can reach me at woodlandgrace@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteThanks!
I have the watercolor pencil book and would love this CD for regular watercolors. I read the Sketching in Nature blog, and EDM blog everyday. I am of an age(45) where I want to do things just for me now that the kiddos at hime are near the launch stage!

ReplyDeleteI'd love to win this wonderful CD....thanks,Adine
ReplyDeleteHi Cathy
ReplyDeleteLove your watercolors. I'd love to be able to use watercolors in my journals, but I am a klutz when it comes to using them ...Mona
Oh boo hoo... I think 37 comments is too many for me to enter. Well, what a blessing for the winner!
ReplyDeleteI just may have to break down and buy the cd.
Thanks for your generous heart Cathy.

ReplyDeleteSuzie
Wow! You got a lot of comments. I guess it is because they/we love your work and CDs. Some day when I have money I will have to take one of your classes. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteOh, I hope I am in time... I have a pen and ink DVD of yours and it is so very helpful.Thanks so much for your generosity.

hi cathy
ReplyDeletethank you for your offer .

What a great idea, Kate. I have both of your watercolor CDs, and, in fact,I have looked at them often, but am starting serious studying and work on them, this summer.
ReplyDeleteWhoever wins it will be delighted with it. And the rest of you might as well buy them. If you follow each little exercise, instead of just watching them, as I did first, you'll be surprised what starts happening on the paper(Stock up,Kate).
Best of luch!
annie
Well I will throw my brush (hat) into the group. Love your books so the CDs must be sonderful. Just finished taking Kate's online class. If anyone is thinking about them, don't think twice, it was a great learning experience. fpakk@aol.com
ReplyDeleteI would love one, watercolor is not my normal medium but I love to experiment with my sketches, and of course I love your work!

ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful, generous idea, Kate! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Kate, I have been following you on the EDMsuperBlog2 but not posting too much. If it's not too late to sign up for the darwing, please count me in! Cheers! Stephanie
ReplyDeleteWow, Kate looks like you have 53 comments already...so I am 2 days late and a dollar short.....LOL...Thanks for this wonderful offer!! I have 3 of your superb CDs but not this one..Keep me on your list for a watercolor class when you get to it...I have been away and doing tons of summer stuff, so a bit absent on the boards and groups lately. It is outdoor time!!!...Cheers...Hannah
ReplyDeleteWell, thanks all! The response was amazing, so I'll do this again in a few weeks, with this or another CD. I wasn't sure what kind of response I'd get, so I said the first 30...maybe I'll set a higher number next time!
ReplyDeleteHi Cathy,
ReplyDeleteHope I'm in here somewhere. I just got some journals and watercolors for journaling. I too am a minimalist person and live with so much less. Much more time for what I want to do rather than what I have to do, clean, maintain, dust, etc. I'm a much happier "camper,"
