Workshop Coordinator, Debbie Lewis, a Long Beach resident will be hosting Paul and his wife Marla, during their three-day stay in Long Beach.
"Paul is an artist whose work I have admired since I first started painting in the 1990s," Debbie said. "The light effects he creates are beyond compare. The fact that he is coming to Long Beach to share his talent and knowledge is an experience no Southern California watercolor artist should miss."
