About My Classes
My aim is for class to be fun and relaxing, while full of useful information, demos and techniques. I break everything down into small steps so it is never overwhelming. I know how easy it is to feel anxious about making art. I'm happy to answer any questions and go over things again as needed.

what students have to say
"I just wanted to send you a little note thanking you for the wonderful classes last week. I really enjoyed everything. I had no experience with watercolors and now I feel confident in using them Plus, I really loved all of the techniques you showed us - very cool stuff!"
~Susan
"Thank you so much for a fun class. My favorite thing was being given permission to be open to exploration without judgment or restraint. It helped me to relax and not feel like I have to love or show every piece; it helped me make peace with process."
~Deirdre
"I *soooooooo* enjoyed your class. It opened up a whole new world for me, and I'm so excited to learn more. You are a wonderful teacher, and I thoroughly enjoyed your class. I honestly had no idea that watercolor could do the things that you taught us. Thanks again for everything."
~Deb
"First I have to say thank you a million times over. I had the best time I have had in a long time. I cannot tell you how it felt to do something creative. Since that class everything I look at is different. I see things I did not see before. Thanks so much for opening a new world."

Meet Liesel
"As an impressionist painter, I capture my subjects with rich colors and expressive brush strokes to create visually delicious paintings which are joyful or soothing. I create these little slices of life to give one a breath of fresh air and to be reminded of the good things that are all around us."
​
An avid plein air and studio painter, Liesel paints landscapes, still life and animals. Drawn to the joy in her work, collectors frequently hang her works in their bedrooms and workspaces to personally inspire them. Her artwork can be found in collections throughout the United States.
What Collectors Have to Say
Oh my word! Just opened the package and was so incredibly pleased to see your painting!! It’s even more beautiful than I remembered. If the true purpose of art is to lift the soul and transport us to a different place and time, your painting is a passport to a perfect day.”
D. Harris
"For me, Liesel's paintings that play with color and light just evoke warmth and joy. I have several of her paintings, but my MOST FAVORITE hangs over my desk and is clearly visible from my bed, so it's one of the first things I see in the morning. It's a symphony of light and color - what a way to start every day!"

We are happy owners of three Liesel Lund originals. They are on display in our art gallery in our home. What I love about Liesel's work is that she captures the essence of her subjects so well. Each image is a moment captured on canvas; that moment is being lived in by the painting's subject, be it a cow, a duck or a heron, and one senses that those subjects are really present in their setting, not just artificially placed there by the artist. Liesel's paintings don't just hang on the wall, they LIVE in our home.
