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 also written articles for “The Artists’ magazine and “The Drawing Board” magazine.
Private Lessons:
For those who need specific help and individualized instruction, Roland Lee offers private consultation/lessons, as well as a few small-group individualized workshops. These are held in his own private studio and include a lot of one-on-one time focusing on specific needs. A 3-hour morning session or afternoon session is $500 per session. Small groups of three or four friends with like interests can share the cost. Roland will custom create an individualized 1-5 day workshop for your small group in his studio and/or the local Zion Park area for $1000 a day. Contact Roland directly via phone or email for more information on private instruction. 435-673-1988.
Experience Levels:
All Roland’s workshops are intended for painters with some previous watercolor experience and a knowledge of basic watercolor painting techniques. You don’t have to be a pro, but we do want you to feel comfortable. No specific paints or materials are required. Just bring what you like to use. A suggested materials list can be found below.
What to expect:
Typical classes consist of teacher demonstrations, powerpoint presentations, and actual student painting time under Roland’s supervision. Classes will be mostly in the studio, with some short outdoor sketching trips to learn to see in nature. At least two plein air outdoor painting workshops are offered each year in southern Utah’s spectacular National Park country.
Meeting Times:
Classes generally meet from 9am to 4pm each day with a 1-hour lunch break (on your own).
Tuition and Cancellations:
The Class fee is due at reservation. You will receive a full refund if cancellation notice is given 30-days prior to class time. No refunds for cancellations will be given after that time.
