Beginner to intermediate - The host was incredible, so friendly and helpful. We had a small workshop group of 4 including Hugo. He assisted us when needed but didn’t loom over our shoulder. He was professional and courteous. The workshop was fun, enjoyable and it felt like a privilege being in his workshop he truly is a master of his craft and I can’t recommend him or this experience enough I certainly feel like it’s worth your time if you want an unforgettable experience.

Wonderful family experience - My husband, sons and I had a wonderful morning with Hugo. You do not need to know how to paint to enjoy this activity and when you are done, you get to take a handmade piece of Porto home with you! Hugo goes step by step and makes it easy to follow along. If you are looking for a fun twist for your vacation, please sign up for this class. You will not regret it!

Excellent Experience - A really excellent and relaxing experience. Hugo is lovely, patient and a great teacher. I’d say this class is equally suited to someone with some experience of watercolour painting or a complete novice, Hugo tailors his approach to your ability. Definitely recommend.

Fun Souvenir of Porto - Doing a water color painting with Hugo do Lago in Porto, Portugal, was a lot of fun. Hugo does the hard work of providing you with a drawing of a scene in Porto. He then directs you on how to paint the scene. At the end you will have a nice souvenir suitable for framing.

A relaxing morning in Hugo’s lovely studio with excellent teaching on watercolour techniques - Hugo was a very interesting and attentive teacher. He brought our artwork alive by telling us the history of the subject we were painting. A morning spent in the calm environment of Hugo’s studio is so enjoyable and relaxing. The demonstrations were very clear, easy to follow and every student was made to fell that their artwork was special. If I’d had longer in Porto I would love to have attended. Second class.

You’ll Thank Yourself - Hugo was amazing:skilled, supportive, kind, generous. As a retired longtime teacher, Hugo gets a two full thumbs rating from me. If you have any interest in dipping yourself and your brush into watercolors, you’ll be glad you signed up for this. And you’ll have a lovely momento of your time in Porto.

Watercolor painting in Porto - Hugo is a very kind and patient teacher. He takes you step by step through the process of making a watercolour. You don't even have to have experience with watercolor painting to achieve a beautiful result.

Such a fun experience - We absolutely had the best time with Hugo. Only one person in our group had done water color painting before and Hugo was patient and kind and gave us all great knowledge. The pieces we are taking home will always serve as a reminder of the best experience we had in Porto. I’m willing to say we’d do it again the next time we visit.
