I'm a professional watercolour artist from Australia. I have sold thousands of my paintings and prints all around the world. My days are now spent teaching others how to paint in this dynamic medium. When I paint I try to find a balance between rendering detail but allowing watercolour to look like watercolour. My favourite technique to use is wet on wet. When watercolour blends on the paper beautiful effects are created as the different pigments combine. In this class I will walk you step by step through my painting process. Whether you are a beginner or you are a more experienced painter this class will give you lots of techniques and tips that will help you expand your painting skills.

You will learn:

the differences between paper wetness
how to paint wet on wet
how to blend colours on the paper
how to build texture on the under wash
preserving white paper
keeping paint edges soft

how to remove highlights

how to use a palette with sloping wells
Fixing mistakes as you paint

When you enroll, you will have access to the line drawing of the Koala, 2 progress photos of my painting, my finished painting and my reference photo.

I look forward to painting with you.
