Über diesen Kurs
Why take this class: A warm welcome to my class! Watercolour is an enchanting, magical medium, and by the end of this class, you will have the skills needed to create this old red boat abandoned in the marshes. The course is packed with exciting ideas and techniques. I will show you exactly how to paint this nostalgic scene from start to finish - you’ll get a real glimpse of what goes into my painting as you work alongside of me up-close and personal. I will remove the mystery of watercolour and show you how to discover new ways to unleash your creativity as you join me on this inspirational journey of start-to-finish demonstrations and techniques. As the video unfolds, you will see how colours work together, how to step into impressionism and push colour to capture the mood and essence of your subject. This class will inspire you to use watercolour in a range of different ways. Best of all, you’ll gain a real sense of accomplishment by creating your own beautiful, evocative Old Red Boat painting.
Is this class for me? Absolutely, 100% yes! Watercolour basics are very simple to learn - like everything else it just takes practice to master, whilst also allowing the watercolour to ‘do its own thing’ and not trying to overly-control those ‘happy accidents’. All are welcome. If you are a complete beginner, you will learn the simple methods needed to paint with confidence. There are also techniques and ideas for those who already have some experience but want to loosen up a bit, become more expressive, and enhance their watercolour skills. You don't need to know how to draw, as I provide a template of the drawing for you to download and trace - so you can just concentrate on the fun of painting.
What will we explore? This course is packed with:
* Start-to-finish demonstrations so you can see first-hand how to build up the painting every step of the way. I verbally explain the entire process in a friendly and easy-to-understand manner.
* I’m a big believer in ‘learning by 'doing' rather than by lecture, so you will paint right alongside me, up close and personal and learn the skills in a practical way.
* Step-by-step guidance and best practice for a range of creative watercolour techniques - I'll be guiding you gently through the whole thing (eg, simplify a subject, add shadows, wet-on-wet, wet-on-dry, layering colour, blending and softening, adding depth and contrast with tonal values, using brush strokes to add texture, to name but a few!)
* Some of my favourite studio tips and tricks for successful working practices and saving time (eg, use sandpaper to create texture, layer colour, avoid washed out paintings)
What do I need? A selection of watercolour paints (at least one red, blue and yellow): a few watercolour brushes, paper, palette, water sprayer, paper towel, pencil, rubber, water pot - you'll probably already have some of these items in a cupboard somewhere.
Alright, let's do it! Come join me for a fun, creative class! Let's get going. Just follow the video boldly along, and you’ll soon have the knowledge and confidence to produce your very own gorgeous Old Red Boat painting that zings with colour and energy.
I can't wait to see what you create!

Hello, I'm Carrie.
I am an international selling artist, specialising in watercolour and mixed media. I'm delighted that my artwork has been selected for collections in the UK, Europe, USA, Australia and New Zealand. My style leans towards impressionistic and contemporary, using loose approaches that bring out the colour, light and essence of my subjects. As well as offering on-line tuition, I teach regular workshops for people of all abilities, exhibit regularly at galleries and venues across Yorkshire, and give demonstrations for local art societies. I am the author of several art books and have been featured in The Leisure Painter and the SAA Paint magazines.
So many great artists have tried to capture the fascination of light in their work - it is, I think, one of the ... Vollständiges Profil ansehen
Praxisnahes Kursprojekt
Your class project: This is your chance to paint The Old Red Boat using the watercolour skills, techniques and knowledge that I’ve shared in the video, whilst also developing your own creativity and personal style. By the end of the project, you will have created a beautiful artwork that you can be proud of and showcase to others. I hope you really enjoy painting our colourful marshland scene.
Materials: the materials I used, including the paint colours, are detailed in the video and in the Resources section, but please feel free to use any colours you already have or would prefer to use - after all it is your painting.
Share your artwork: I would really love to see how you get on with painting your own version of The Old Red Boat, inspired by the lessons covered in this class. Please don’t worry if your painting doesn’t look exactly like mine - Lowry didn’t worry that his paintings didn’t look like Picasso’s or Van Gogh’s. Just as we all have unique fingerprints, your painting will be in your own unique and fabulous style. So please upload your finished masterpiece onto “Your Project” which can be found on the “Project and Resources” page. Sharing your final result in the Project Gallery of this class will also inspire your classmates.
Review: if you enjoyed the class, it would be great if you could take a moment to add a short review so that others can find it.
Resources: I have attached files for the reference photograph, the materials, the drawing and how to transfer the drawing to your watercolour paper.
