💎Workshop Alert💎

Join us for Watercolor Week at beachKraft Gallery, with guest instructor Sandy Yagel ( )

Sandy is ready to introduce you to watercolor painting or expand on what you already know!
Students will learn the fundamentals of wet-on-wet, wet-on-dry and other watercolor techniques in an age-appropriate setting.

Students who regularly attend evening classes are welcome and can use their existing class package plan to book these special classes!

Tuesday June 23rd - 6:00pm - 8:00pm - Teens and adults
Wednesday June 24th- 5:30pm - 7:00pm - Kids ages 5-8
Thursday June 25th - 6:00pm - 8:00pm - Kids ages 8 - 14

About the instructor:
My journey into the world of watercolor may be a bit different from most artists. Other than the obligatory art class in middle school, I never took art classes until my first "sip and paint" class in 2015. I absolutely love exploring watercolors and seeing magic happen on my paper! Painting is opening my eyes to seeing God’s world in greater detail than ever before. I marvel at and appreciate the intricacies of color, shades and texture that God has woven into the world all around us!
