Sandy's Watercolor Classes are fun, lighthearted  and enriching, whether doing 6 Step Sketching, working wet-into-wet on traditional cotton rag or on nonabsorbant, synthetic Yupo paper. Classes are offered at her Tabernacle, NJ based studio, at *your location and online and are geared to the individual needs and interests of students.

I prefer DaVinci brand tube watercolors for their consistency, quality and price,
but I have also used Windsor and Newton, American Journey and Lukas.
