A course by Leandro Nunes
"São Paulo-born Leandro Nunes has been drawing since he was seven years old. Forever connected to the arts, he received a degree in advertising and propaganda, choosing this path as a way of uniting artistic knowledge with communication, expression, and education. He then studied photography and photo editing and went on to combine all his knowledge at his communications agency where he worked as Art Director.
He has worked with brands such as Marisa, Água de Cheiro, Everlast, Fórum, and more. He fell in love with watercolor the second he started and currently dedicates himself exclusively to activities related to this art form. He gives courses in various cities across Brazil and manages the largest watercolor group on Facebook, Aquarela Brasil."
