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.

Cadmium Yellow or Gamboge, Ultramarine Blue (Medium hue), Alizarin Crimson
(or Perm. Rose)
Plus (optional) Chinese White - for working on Yupo and Ivory Black for our 6 Steps Sketching

And a minimum of four watercolor brushes - one each small, medium and large Round Brush and one  ½ - 1" Flat Brush

For all in-person classes, please also bring your own notebook, hair dryer and paper towels and mixing tray.
