About Lilu
Hello! I’m a watercolor artist based in New York City, and I love sharing the beauty of watercolor with students of all ages and skill levels. My teaching style is hands-on and engaging—rather than starting with dry theory, I believe in learning by painting right from the very first lesson. What sets me apart as a tutor is my ability to blend technical instruction with personal expression. My lessons are not just about copying an image, but about developing your own artistic voice while mastering essential skills. I tailor my approach to each student’s goals, whether that’s building a foundation as a beginner, refining techniques as an intermediate painter, or preparing artwork for a portfolio. My lessons are open to children, teens, and adults at all levels. Whether you want to explore watercolor as a relaxing creative outlet or advance your artistic practice, I’ll guide you with patience, encouragement, and inspiration. Reach out to schedule your first lesson, and let’s start painting together!

I believe in hands-on learning—students learn best by painting right away. From the very first lesson, I provide paper and supplies so we can begin with a chosen reference image. As we work together, I explain essential watercolor techniques such as brush handling, layering, washes, color mixing, and blending. Rather than overwhelming students with theory upfront, I introduce concepts naturally during the creative process, so each technique has immediate context and application.

I took lessons with Lilu last fall and winter and absolutely loved her teaching approach. As a beginner, I was nervous about starting watercolor, but Lilu made the process enjoyable and approachable. She explained techniques clearly, guided me step by step, and gave me the confidence to explore my creativity. Her encouragement and patience made learning feel natural and fun. What I especially love about Lilu is her ability to make art accessible to everyone—she is wonderful with both adults and kids, adapting her lessons to each student’s needs. I also attended her masterclasses in Central Park and local cafés, which were not only inspiring but also a great way to meet others who share a passion for watercolor art across NYC. I plan to continue taking lessons with her in the future to advance my skills, and I truly recommend Lilu to anyone looking for a supportive, talented, and inspiring art teacher.
