Watercolour beginners on demand course

Description

Welcome to my online Watercolour for beginners video course.

As a professional artist and tutor I know how important key art skills are. This course is designed to take you from the basics and on through the key skills needed to begin painting in watercolours.

As a tutor with 20 years’ experience I love introducing students to a new medium. But I also know the benefits of a refresher course for experienced watercolourists.

It’s always useful to go back to the beginning to understand why and how techniques work.

The course is divided into 5 lessons and designed for the complete beginner to those with more experience who want a refresher in the core skills of watercolour painting.

Is this course for me?

Do you want to work step by step from the beginning? Understanding the equipment needed for watercolour painting, work through core skills like; paint consistency, wet on wet washes and glazing? Do you want to work on a series of simple paintings that build on these core skills? Then yes this is for you.

The course assumes you have no prior knowledge and presents each piece of information or skill in manageable lessons. Allowing you to work through at your own pace, completing each lesson and building on the previous lessons skills.

What does the course cover?

Lesson 1 – Getting started. This covers all the equipment you need, basic mark making and paint consistency.

Lesson 2 – Key skills. This shows you how to lay down different washes and encourages you to use primary colours in mixes to create a colour wheel.

Lesson 3 – Primary colour mixes. This lesson works through the previous skills learnt to show you how to paint a still life of fruit.

Lesson 4 – Landscape painting. Here you will use glazing to paint a lovely country scene.

Lesson 5 – For fun! This is all about having fun and focusing on effects. There’s also a creative painting of sea and moon using different effects.

Everything you need to set you on the road to creating your own wonderful watercolours!
