Learn the basics of watercolor and find the confidence to create beautiful original pieces … even if you’ve never painted before!
Painting provides a form of mindfulness and offer a break from daily stress.
Engaging in art can lower cortisol levels (the stress hormone) and promote relaxation.
Creative work stimulates the brain, enhancing cognitive functions like focus, memory, and problem-solving, translating into sharper critical thinking in other areas of life.
Creative activities can help you enter a state of "flow," fully immersed in the moment. This state is shown to boost happiness and contentment as a natural way to disconnect from distractions and find joy in the process of creation.
Watercolour painting is proven to benefit both mental and emotional well-being.
(But you know that.)
- As beautiful as it is, watercolour seems too difficult to master.
- Art stores are overwhelming… where to even start when it comes to supplies?
- I’m not creative at all! Designs would never come to life on paper the way they do for other people.

"Lisa has been holding painting classes at our popular Girls’ Getaways in Tuscany.
It is magical to witness the relaxed laughter, warmth and healing that takes place as a group of women share this special time under the Tuscan sun.
Paint brushes, jars of coloured water and vases of wild flowers cover long trestle tables set amongst the olive trees, Giggles erupt as painted poppies and cypress trees come to life. Friendships are formed and everyday anxiety fades away as Lisa moves from guest to guest instructing and praising their work.
Yes, it is a magical day when Lisa comes to teach watercolour classes at our retreats."

"I had the pleasure of attending a workshop with Lisa the last time I was in Florence. I've always said, I'm not creative, or an artist but Lisa proved me wrong. Not only did I leave with a beautifully painted picture of the Duomo, I found painting very relaxing and therapeutic.
Thanks to Lisa and being shown the magic of watercolour painting, I now have all the tools and materials at home to be an artist and soothe my soul. If you have the chance to learn how to paint watercolours with Lisa, I highly recommend it".

"I had the pleasure one afternoon, to take an introductory class with Lisa. I hadn’t picked up a paint brush since I was 12 years old and was really nervous. She has a very a special talent to clearly explain how each brush stroke works and how to apply various paint techniques. I was so amazed to quickly see results.
Lisa is extremely encouraging and really brought out my creative spirit again."

SONJA THAYER
"Taking Lisa's watercolour class was an absolute joy! She has a way of making the art process approachable even for beginners like me. Her guidance is clear, encouraging, and packed with helpful tips that made me feel more confident with every brushstroke. Lisa's passion for watercolour is contagious, and she creates such a warm, welcoming space to explore creativity. Whether you're just starting out or looking to refine your skills, I couldn't recommend her classes more!"

"Learing how to paint with watercolours can be daunting, but not with Lisa. She leads you through each technique and process, offers ideas and lots of encouragement. At the end you're amazed at what you've created, the new skills acquired and the passion to continue on your own."
