About the Class
"This class is open to students of all levels. One of the reasons that my students like my classes is that I am generous. I don't keep my techniques secret. I experiment with you, try out techniques, and share everything I know as well as the stuff I don't. You see my goal is not to teach you to paint like me but to teach you to paint like you. I believe in you and know that once you learn a new way of seeing and experimenting that you will discover your own visual language. Watercolor is such a beautiful medium with so many different styles that can be embraced. Everyone says it is a hard medium for any number of reasons. I say embrace the mistakes and explore the mystery by jumping in. I will show you how you can conquer your fears and find your true voice." - Sandra
