Learn to Paint Watercolor: A Step-by-Step Painting for Beginners, Exploring Fun & Basic Techniques

Join me on this beginner's step-by-step painting, learning basic watercolor techniques in a fun and relaxed style! This is a great exercise for beginners as it's a fun way to experiment and learn about watercolor, all whilst still ending up with a nice painting you can hang up or gift to someone. This style of painting doesn't require strong drawing skills either, it's all about having fun, you can paint as expressive or as detailed as you wish.

I'm very grateful for you joining me here!

I’ve been painting for many years now, taken part in many exhibitions around the world and won awards from well respected organisations. As well as having my work feature in art magazines. After having success selling my originals and 1000s of prints around the world, I decided to start traveling with my brushes and paintings. My style is modern and attempts to grasp the essence of what I’m painting whilst allowing freedom and expression to come through. I simplify complicated subjects into easier shapes that encourages playfulness.

In my other classes I go over many different techniques of watercolour. However today I will keep it simple by giving you basic instruction which will allow you to experiment at your on pace.

You'll Learn:

• What materials and equipment to need to painting along
• How to sketch out outline for the painting
• Basic technique to complete your first painting
• How to avoid common mistakes
• Choosing the right colors for your painting
• How to blend colors and create textures for different effects
• Making corrections and improvements
• Finishing touches that make a big difference

When enrolled, I’ll include my complete ‘Watercolor Mixing Charts’. These are a huge aid for beginners and experts alike. They show what every color on the palette looks like when mixed with each other. Indispensable when it comes to choosing which color to mix.
