November Events

Demonstration
Title: A Simple Wave
Cathy Holmes
Pastel Workshop
Monday 3rd November
7pm to 9pm
Hawcoat Memorial Hall
This November Cathy will be giving her third demo to BSA but this time she has put kits together for 14 people to paint along and try their hand at painting with pastels.
It’s on a a first come first served basis so the first 14 to arrive will be given a paint along kit. There is room to watch for those who just want to see Cathy's demo. She hopes you enjoy her painting and techniques.
Cathy Holmes started painting about 15 years ago and is mainly self taught. After a pastel demo at Barrow Society of Artists she bought a set of pastels to try this medium herself and love it. The vibrancy of the colour, the immediacy of the mark making and the forgiving nature if you make a mistake was the driver to Cathy developing her own artistic vision using this medium.
She usually paints landscapes as the Lake District inspiration is close to home. Cathy frequently takes her own photographs for reference on walks in this Beautiful part of the world.
Work by Cathy is exhibited at Home Images, Duke Street, Barrow in Furness.
Cathy has a facebook page if you would like to follow her : Cathy Holmes - Lakeland Artist
