In this class, you’ll dive into the mesmerizing world of watercolour to paint a radiant jellyfish, capturing its ethereal beauty and graceful movement. Watercolour, with its luminous qualities and fluid nature, is the perfect medium to bring these captivating sea creatures to life through vibrant colours and expressive techniques.
Guided step-by-step, you'll explore essential watercolour techniques, such as wet-on-wet painting, colour blending, and creating soft transitions, to reflect the delicate flow of jellyfish tentacles and the transparent nature of their bell. You'll also learn how to simplify the jellyfish’s form, making it accessible to all levels while preserving its elegance and unique character.
The class will provide you with a range of helpful resources, from templates to detailed colour mixing charts. You’ll receive guidance on selecting the ideal colours, brushes, and methods to compose your painting with balance and harmony, ensuring your final artwork feels both dynamic and serene.
By the end of this class, you'll be equipped with the skills and confidence to paint your own luminous jellyfish, glowing with colour and movement. Whether you're looking to add a splash of marine magic to your walls or simply want to explore the beauty of watercolours, this class will inspire you to create a breathtaking jellyfish painting that feels truly your own.

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.
