Sierra Watercolor Society was proud to host Alvaro Castagnet May 8 through 10, in Reno Nevada. His Watercolor Masterclass - "Understanding the 4 Pillars" was well attended and members and guests commented on the great level of energy and information they received. The workshop was an intense 3-days of inspiration, hard work, and productive learning.
