Watercolor
Afraid you
can't draw a straight line?
Afraid you'll
make a mistake?
Afraid you'll
make a mess?
Afraid someone
will say, "That's not what it looks like"?
Afraid you'll
waste precious art supplies?
Afraid it's
too late to learn new skills?
Afraid to start
painting boldly?

"yes" to any two of these questions, and you want
to get started,
re-started, or improve your painting skills in watercolor in
a small, supportive
group setting, then Fearless Watercolor is for you.

"This is a
gift I give myself for three hours weekly, it's a magical
experience. Everything is "Present," as my focus drifts in ward,
and I became attentive to light, color, texture and whatever is
the subject of the day's painting.
-Desiree Rodriguez
Ideas, inspiration
and excellent practical advice. also, fun
in a collegial atmosphere.
Three hours to look forward to every week.
-Linda Miller
Annie's studio
has become a haven, an oasis where creativity,
good conversation and encouragement reign. I came here with a
rigid sense of what
watercolors were and were not. several years later,
these barriers
have been smashed and my growth as a painter with
few boundaries is ongoing. What fun!
-Geraldine Stalonas
Classes
at Annie Shaver Crandell's studio are both instructive
and comfortable. From beginners to trained artists, there is room for all.
Although I have had extensive training, I did watercolors for the first
time with Annie. It was a great experience and I learned a lot.
I am now painting with oils.
Annie is thoughtful, informed and enthusiastic.
The other painters in class are all gifted in different ways.
The experience of the interaction in the class is beneficial
to us all.

Wolf: "Painting at Annie's studio is always an opportunity
to try a new approach or idea that I would never have thought
of...
perhaps a new color, or a new brush technique."
