Still Searching And Learning

“Learning is the beginning of wealth. 

Learning is the beginning of health. 

Learning is the beginning of spirituality. 

Searching and learning is where the miracle process all begins.” 

~ Jim Rohn

This is a 5 x 7" painting on Yupo paper, matted to 8 x 10" - It is a Birch Tree / Pour Lesson - for tomorrow's Sandarosa Studio Class - "To mask, or not to mask, that is the question".... Both techniques will be demonstrated and practiced. These trees were done by masking the trees before pouring the background.

These trees were done without masking by lifting the ink from the poured ink background.

The FUNdamentals of Alcohol Ink - January 2017

The FUNdamentals videos are short and to the point. There are no long, boring demos or lectures on theory. Through various demos, you'll see that there is no one way to paint or one style. The lessons presented here encourage you to find your own way, your own voice and your own joy in painting what you love. Registration for the January 2017 Session closes December 18, 2016!

• Learn How To Create A Variety Of Backgrounds From Smooth and Varied To Abstract.

"Unless you try to do something beyond 

what you have already mastered, 

you will never grow." 

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

"The only way that we can live, is if we grow. 
The only way that we can grow is if we change. 
The only way that we can change is if we learn. 
The only way we can learn is if we are exposed. 
And the only way that we can become exposed 
is if we throw ourselves out into the open."
~  C. Joybell

When The Student is Ready, The Teacher Will Appear

"Get over the idea that only children 

should spend their time in study. 

Be a student so long as you still 

have something to learn, and 

this will mean all your life."

~ Henry L. Doherty

"Hibiscus"
8 x 10" Matted Watercolor on Yupo paper ~ $85.
email: sandy@sandysandy.com to purchase

My first watercolor on Yupo paper instructional video is now live and available for rent or purchase. It is loaded with tips and techniques and I am sure anyone wanting to know more about working in this medium will find it very beneficial. You can see more information and watch the trailer here. Through my teaching, I want to inspire people to live a more visually aware, appreciative life. It is a proven fact that making art is linked to fewer cognitive problems in old age. Art is good for your health and your soul! Won't you take a look and leave me some feedback?

On another note, my sister is doing well and continues to keep her spirits up. Thanks for asking.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.
