Instructor Bio

George Liang's artistic journey began at the tender age of six with a love for drawing that quickly blossomed into a passion.

By age 15, he had embraced the complexity and richness of oil painting, mastering its techniques with dedication.

Fifteen years ago, George turned to watercolor painting, finding beauty in its challenging yet expressive nature. His impressionist work celebrates the fluidity and ephemeral qualities of watercolor, capturing moments that are as fleeting as they are beautiful.

For a watercolor workshop, transferring and exchanging the knowledge and experience of watercolor painting to passionate students can be a fulfilling endeavor. It involves not only teaching the techniques but also sharing the joy and challenges that come with the medium.
