Cathy Johnson's Cafe Press

Welcome!

Here you'll find tutorial CDs for artists (some with the new slideshow format that allows you to stop, zoom in, and control your learning experience) as well as discovering lots of inspiration for your work in copyright-free resource photo CDs for use by artists, designers, journal keepers, scrapbookers, collage artists, architects, gardeners, naturalists, and others. Find plein air and in& wash slideshows to inspire and encourage the artist in you--or a friend. There's also a how-to for aspiring watercolorists (or those just wanting to brush up!) in Cathy Johnson's Watercolor Workshop or our Watercolor Basics CD, a Drawing and Sketching Workshop, a virtual sketchcrawl of Excelsior Springs, an old spa town, Volumes one and two of "Drawn from Life: an Artist's Journal," data CDs of art tips for the creative being in you, and of course those brand-new how-to art CDs. I've written 8 books for North Light and two for The Sierra Club on art, as well as being a contributing editor for The Artist's Magazine and Watercolor Magic, but CDs are an exciting new venue!

And while you're at it, of course, shop for clothing, mugs, tiles, totes etc. all from eclectic artist and writer Cathy (Kate) Johnson--that's me.

Our newest section offers field bags and totes as well as studio aprons and more for the working artist. (You'll find the art-related CDs there, too, as well as on our home page. Look below in "For the artist...")

In this store, you'll also find images of nature, history, animals, greenmen, faeries, and much, much more.

Once upon a time when dinosaurs roamed the earth, I was a contributing editor to Country Living Magazine (for 11 years!), and I still write and illustrate for The Artist's Magazine, Watercolor Magic, North Light Books and the Sierra Club. You may have seen my work in Early American Life, Harrowsmith, Sports Afield, The Mother Earth News and others, as well.

Drop by for a visit on Live Journal at http://www.livejournal.com/users/katequicksilvr/ --I usually talk about my work and various projects there, but sometimes just kick back and get silly!
