Sandy Allnock’s love of watercolor will be poured out into students in this 2 day workshop - all about trees! A wide variety of techniques will be demonstrated and practiced in this class. The class will cover four demonstrated step by step paintings, with students completing each pass to create their own tree studies.

Sandy will inspire painters to try something new and address possible roadblocks to advance their skills. While all levels of students are welcome, beginners should come ready to dive in with enthusiasm - this isn’t a basics course, but Sandy’s excited to share her own big artistic “AHA” moments to help others learn to overcome their challenges in watercolor.

Don’t forget to pack a lunch!
