This was so fun! Hugo was a great teacher and very patient. I am in no way an artist and my picture looks pretty good. I highly recommend this class for a break from all the sightseeing/walking.

I can’t speak highly enough of Hugo. I was late due to trains being delayed and he made me feel so welcomed despite this disruption.
His tuition was so encouraging and calm. He spent more than the allocated time just to make sure we were happy with the experience. I’ve been to a few watercolour fun tutorials but this is the outstanding best experience I’ve had. Thanks so much Hugo. You are such a patient, talented artist and tutor. 🙏🏻

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to participate in this activity. Personally, it was a great experience. I found myself losing track of time. The small, intimate group environment allows the participants to enroll in the activity as well as feel comfortable asking the host questions and engaging with others. Hugo, the host, was very friendly and helpful, making the entire class relax and a great time. As an activity, it can be done by anyone. Either if you are attending alone, in a small group or a pair, I recommend. It's an amazing way to have a great time exploring the details of Porto architecture by painting it. Even if you have no major prior experience in this painting technique, Hugo will guide you calmly and the end result will certainly be amazing. I went by myself, and I couldn't recommend it more. It was a lovely afternoon with Hugo and the other guests.
Hopefully, I will come back soon.
Thank you, Hugo, for the great time!

This was such a lovely experience. Hugo is a real gentleman and was so patient in his teaching. I am a complete beginner and I actually came away with a pretty good painting (if I do say so myself!). My husband and I did this together and it was just a really lovely way to spend a few hours in Porto. We would both highly recommend this experience!

We had an amazing time, went with our whole family, including my parents in their 60’s and my 6 year old daughter. Everyone had the best time, it was a perfect way to spend a rainy afternoon in Porto. Our watercolors turned out great!! Hugo was a helpful and patient, and he has many of his beautiful works around the studio for purchase as well. Highly recommend booking this experience!! Thanks Hugo!!

Hugo was a friendly and excellent instructor. He made sure that everyone in the class was easily following along, and we all have an original souvenir of Porto. I highly recommend this experience!

One of the highlights of our trip to Porto.
Hugo expertly guided us through our painting experience and provided us with a lovely finished product to take home.
No matter what your skill level, you will definitely enjoy the afternoon.
