cathietylerpicOn Saturday, November 12th from 1:30-3 p.m. guest artist Cathie Tyler will present a demonstration entitled “Getting the Color You Want” at the Art Center located at 215 Fisk Avenue. There is no cost to attend the demonstration and the Brownwood Art Association encourages the public to attend.

The talk will cover mostly known, but often misunderstood, information about color that will be helpful in all media containing pigment. Along with the talk there will be a demonstration in oil with an emphasis on “catching the light.”

Tyler is an accomplished artist, working in watercolor, oils, drawing, as well as mixed media. Her normal subject matter is central Texas landscapes.

As a third generation artist, Cathie Tyler has always had painting in her life. Her grandmother, Lulu McLean, was an active landscape painter in Colorado Springs from the 1930s through the early 50s.  Lillian Tyler, the artist’s mother, learned the rudiments of oil painting from Lulu while her husband was overseas. She continued to paint after the family moved to El Paso and then later to Paris, Texas.  Lillian spent the last twenty years of her life working on a series of paintings based on Bible verses from the book of Revelations.

Cathie recently moved to the heart of Texas where she has an established studio. Her paintings and drawings have been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in public and private museums and galleries as well as invitational and juried competitions throughout Texas and many other states. Her works are in private, corporate and educational collections.
