What is a Foundations Course?
Foundations courses methodically walk through many techniques to get artists started on larger artworks (not card-sized); no one was around to help ME make that transition, so I'm going to teach YOU all the things I wish someone taught me, and in an order that makes sense. Each one will build on the last, growing skills and knowledge throughout a watercolorist's journey through the series.
What experience is required for a Level 4 class?
Solid but not extensive experience with watercolor is important for Foundations courses. These classes are designed to help artists make the jump from small to large format, or to give the experienced larger-format painter new ideas for approaching painting techniques.
These courses are not for beginners; I would recommend beginning with Watercolor Jumpstart if you've never done any watercolor at all, as that class deals with basic pigment mixing and management.
Do I need to know how to draw?
For this Landscape series, only limited drawing skills are needed. That's deliberate - I wanted to make watercolor accessible to those with limited drawing experience! So no buildings will be included in these aside from very minor elements so that perspective experience isn't required. Trees, hills, rocks, and skies are easy and forgiving subject matter, and photo resources are carefully selected to help keep the focus on subjects that are doable.

As watercolor is a new interest for me in the last few years, I have enjoyed several of Sandy’s classes. From the very first lesson in this class, I was challenged at a level that kept me interested and looking forward to the next lesson. Sandy has the unique ability to give just what I need for instruction. The advantage of taking this on line, is that I have used each video multiple times.
The connection to other folks taking these classes through social media is a great benefit as well. One of my favorite classes!
