ONLINE COURSES
You know how learning to paint seems straightforward in
theory but doesn’t go so well in practice? Or maybe you
have experience but the result doesn’t always follow what
is in your mind? Maybe you see a beautiful subject and
think I’d like to paint that but when you try, it turns out
that it’s not as easy as you had hoped? Well, I’ve been
there too. I can remember looking at my paper covered in
paint and thinking “Oh dear, what happened there.” That
was over 35 years ago and for the past 25 years I have
been teaching watercolour workshops all over the world
to all levels. I have written three books with Search Press,
been involved in several others, created DVDs, have a
successful YouTube channel and I am a regular
contributor to Artists and Illustrators magazine. During
these years my paintings have been awarded many local,
national and international prizes. Watercolour isn’t easy
but I can help to keep you on the right side of that fine
line between success and disaster, as well as showing you
how and why watercolour is the most beautiful and
satisfying of the painting mediums. It can still go wrong of
course (as it often does) but that is all part of this exciting
world of watercolour.
What you will learn
Each online course contains everything you will need to
progress as a watercolour painter. The only thing you
need to add is committment and practice. There are many
“styles” of watercolour painting and it is important that
you share my enjoyment of what I call loose realism. Have
a look at my paintings on this website. If you like them
then I’m sure you will enjoy the courses.
What level of experience is needed?
Courses will vary but each will have a full description of
what is involved along with the level of experience (if any)
required. There is even a free mini course designed for
complete beginners. Why not try this to get a feel for how
it all works. Just click on the button at the top of the page.
Courses vary in price depending on the content but are
comparable to my “live” workshops, without the expense
of travelling and accommodation. When you pay for a
course you have unlimited access to it on your computer,
tablet or smartphone so you can watch anytime, anywhere
and as often as you like. Courses will be constantly
updated to take account of such things as student
feedback and changes to materials. Full details are on my
dedicated online course site. Just click on the button at
