Jane Sandberg
Watercolor and Gouache
“I believe artists can be created. An individual needs to be inspired, have the intention to learn and be willing to put effort into the learning process. Art books, magazines, other artists and teachers are all helpful, as well as an eagerness to try new techniques and enjoy the process.”
