What Students Say about my Tutorials
I absolutely love following Lioba’s watercolor tutorials. She is incredibly generous with the knowledge and techniques she shares, and every lesson is both inspiring and easy to follow. What amazed me the most is that I started as a complete beginner, yet I was able to create illustrations I never thought I’d be capable of painting. Seeing that progress has been so rewarding. I especially loved experimenting with mixed media, combining watercolor with colored pencils, and learning a variety of new techniques. Another thing I really appreciate is that Lioba provides the sketches, so even if you don’t know how to draw, you can still enjoy painting beautiful artwork while improving your skills. Her tutorials have brought me so much satisfaction and confidence. On top of that, Lioba is incredibly kind and genuinely listens to her community. I wholeheartedly recommend her classes to anyone who loves painting or wants to improve their watercolor skills. You won’t be disappointed!

Lioba, your tutorials inspire me every single time because you use such a wide variety of media. It was only through you that I discovered the idea of combining my watercolors with oil pastels and colored pencils!
I had never used colored pencils so professionally before following your latest tutorial, “Crimson Spell.” I also love your imaginative subjects. Thank you for explaining how you correct your mistakes as well - it is always incredibly helpful!
Keep up the amazing work. ✨

I love how Lioba is showing painting in real-time and explains which colors she mixed and how she is working. It is always fun to paint along. She also covers the basics in separate lessons, which are actually pretty helpful and gives a lot of advice about how to create your own references. If you want to learn how Lioba is creating her unique and stunning artworks and give your own art skills a push, I can strongly recommend her membership.
