Workshop description:

Get ready to be inspired - Lionel is back, bringing his signature teaching style and passion for watercolor to help you break free from simply copying photos and start creating expressive, one-of-a-kind paintings that reflect your personal flair!

With Lionel’s calm, supportive guidance, you'll learn how to turn reference photos into stunning works of art, moving beyond the basics to explore the full range of watercolor techniques. His fun, engaging approach makes learning a joy, whether you’re looking to soothe those beginner jitters or push your skills to new heights.
 
What to Expect: Each class begins with choosing the reference picture, then discussing composition and drawing thumbnail sketches.  You'll then start painting, building layer by layer until your masterpiece comes to life. And with extended class times, you’ll have the space to fully develop your painting without the rush - ensuring each stroke counts!
