Drawing & Painting Workshops
St. George, UT Workshops:
Roland Lee will be presenting several intensive workshops from his St. George Studio this year. Located just 45 minutes from Zion National Park, and only minutes from Snow Canyon, St. George provides the ideal setting for plein air instruction and vacation-style scenic watercolor workshops. Regardless of the subject matter, each workshop includes both studio and outdoor sketching and painting in various locations, coupled with in-studio powerpoint presentations and live demonstrations. If you want to jump-start your art, and re-charge your artistic batteries, this is the place to do it.
With over 35 years experience, Roland Lee is one of today’s most successful watercolorists and sought-after art workshop instructors. As a signature member of the National Watercolor Society, Roland has conducted workshops throughout America, helping hundreds of artists bring their art to a higher level. He has written articles for “The Artists’ magazine and “The Drawing Board” magazine, and has produced a popular series of instructional videos.

What to expect:
Typical workshops consist of teacher demonstrations, powerpoint presentations, and actual student painting time under Roland’s supervision.
