Created by Lisa Brancatisano

"Inspired by Florence, shaped by Tuscany, and created to share the joy of watercolour."

Lisa Brancatisano

Lisa Brancatisano

Artist, designer, and educator with over 30 years of creative experience, helping students around the world discover the joy of watercolour.

Over thirty years ago, I found myself wandering the sunlit streets of Florence, captivated by the colours, textures, and gentle pace of Italian life. It was there that I first picked up a watercolour brush, not knowing it would become both my passion and my calling. The beauty of Tuscany—its landscapes, light, and sense of tranquillity—continues to inspire my art and my teaching every day.
My background in fashion design and illustration, together with years of teaching, has allowed me to share my love of watercolour with thousands of students around the world. I've always believed that art should be approachable and enjoyable, not intimidating. That's why I've developed a teaching style that welcomes complete beginners while offering inspiration and new techniques for more experienced artists.
For me, watercolour is more than just a technique—it's a way to slow down, reconnect with creativity, and notice the beauty in everyday life. I created this app to guide you step by step, helping you build confidence with every lesson and encouraging you to create artwork you never thought possible. Each exercise is designed to be relaxing and rewarding, inspired by the colours and atmosphere of Tuscany.
My hope is that, through this app, you'll not only learn to paint but also discover a new way of seeing the world. Whether you're picking up a brush for the first time or returning to a forgotten passion, I'm here to guide and encourage you every step of the way, helping you experience a little of Tuscany wherever you are.

Really enjoyed the course. The modules were easy to follow and very informative. The Color Theory module was my favorite which helped me understand which colors to utilize prior to beginning a painting, especially regarding shading. I would be interested in future landscape workshops.

I had the pleasure one afternoon to take an introductory class with Lisa. I hadn’t picked up a paint brush since I was 12 years old and was really nervous. She has a very special talent to clearly explain how each brush stroke works and how to apply various paint techniques. I was so amazed to quickly see results. Lisa is extremely encouraging and really brought out my creative spirit again.

I’ve always said, I’m not creative, or an artist, but Lisa proved me wrong. Not only did I leave with a beautifully painted picture of the Duomo, I found painting very relaxing and therapeutic. Thanks to Lisa and being shown the magic of watercolour painting, I now have all the tools and materials at home to be an artist and soothe my soul.

It is magical to witness the relaxed laughter, warmth and healing that takes place as a group of women share this special time under the Tuscan sun. Giggles erupt as painted poppies and cypress trees come to life. Friendships are formed and everyday anxiety fades away as Lisa moves from guest to guest, instructing and praising their work. It is a magical day when Lisa comes to teach watercolour classes at our retreats.
