Watercolor Fundamentals
A 12-hour course to master the fundamentals of watercolor painting.
Are you in love with watercolor but always struggle with it and your results are far away from what you have envisioned?
If you realize that you can't handle watercolor, that it is so unpredictable, paints often spread and blend too quickly, or that it dries too fast or too slow, rest assured—you're not alone.
If you are often unhappy or frustrated with your paintings, it is usually just a misunderstanding of technical processes or a lack of practice. In this course, we will work on both!
This 'Watercolor Fundamentals' course is designed to support you in your artistic journey, offering a strong foundation in essential techniques that will help you to paint with confidence. Inspired by the incredible progress of my students, I created this course to provide you with the essential technical skills needed to master watercolor. By focusing on the foundational techniques, you'll gain the confidence to tackle more complex projects, ensuring your creative vision is supported by a strong technical base. Whether you're a beginner or refining your skills, this course will equip you with the tools to excel in watercolor painting.

What My Students Say:
This is the best lesson on color mixing, I learned so much. The color swatching brought it all together for me. I love your little book of colors for various flowers, what a handy resource. I think it will also be helpful when I want to recreate some of the colors. I am such a visual learner, this was excellent.
I want to thank you so much. You explain things in such detail, demonstrating patiently all the while. I am not a beginner but I am wishing I had someone like you to help me understand where I so often went wrong and why. Learning through making mistakes is valid but without understanding the fundamentals, e.g. the properties of paint, that method of learning will always bring frustration. Your work is stunning and I am very much enjoying this course.
I found it invaluable and feeling more confident with the colour wheel, warm and cold and saturated and desaturated colours. Thank you
