Walking into Kathy’s workshop is like walking into a garden. Kathy drives two hours down to Tucson to get an abundance of fresh flowers for the students to choose from to create a natural garden set up unique to their vision.

Kathy starts each day with a demo, emphasizing the importance of design with a strong block in. She will talk about how to get transparency in flowers with clean color, how to block in leaves as a mass, and creating value patterns. For one of the demos, Kathy will bring in a dry plein air painting to demonstrate and talk about how to finish it in the studio using photos. The afternoons will be for the students to set up their own “garden still life” with Kathy assisting.

Kathy is so happy to be one of the Putney Painters; painting, laughing, and sharing a special friendship with Richard Schmid and Nancy Guzik for 15 years. www.kathyandersonstudio.com

Anderson, Kathy

.

Kathy Anderson is best known for her unique interpretation of flowers and gardens, and intimate scenes of landscape.  Working in oils and painting mostly from life, her focus is on a strong design and movement in the painting, keeping the subject as naturally as you would find it.   Her style is representational, but goes a step further into reality, often depicting weeds in the garden, flowers past their prime, etc.

Kathy is included in many prestigious private collections, is a master signature member of Oil Painters of America, an artist member of the Salmagundi Club NY, and is in the permanent collection of the National Arts Club, NYC.  She teaches workshops in the US and abroad and has three popular videos.

She was lucky to be able to call as personal friends two of our greatest contemporary artists– Richard Schmid and Everett Raymond Kinstler, both sadly deceased.  She has spent countless years with each of them, soaking up their wisdom and life stories.

“I see paintings everywhere- every flower, rock, tree, dapple of light, sparkling waterfall –there’s no end to subject matter for an artist when your eyes are always open.”
