Watercolor
classes in Sacramento and Auburn California
No wishy-washy wimpy watercolors here. Learn
to paint intense glowing colors, instead of "muddy" colors.
Classes concentrate on different TECHNIQUES each month, and to make
it fun, we also paint a different subject each month. Each class
is offered at three locations. You may take just one class or the
entire series.
Locations:
The Arts Building
808 Lincoln Way, Auburn
Sacramento Fine Art Center
5330-B Gibbons Drive, Carmichael
University Art Center
2610 Marconi Avenue, Sacramento
To register for a class please call (916) 652-4624 to ensure there is
space available.
Confirm your registration by writing your check to "Sandy Delehanty",
and mailing it to P. O. Box 130, Penryn, CA 95663. Checks are not cashed
until after the class has taken place.
To cancel your reservation notify Sandy (by telephone not email) in
time for her to find a replacement for you and your check will be returned.
Most classes fill early and have a Waiting List so a replacement can
usually be found.
