Join me in this calming watercolour class where we’ll paint a peaceful countryside scene bathed in warm, golden light. This project is perfect for anyone who wants to explore how to capture atmosphere, texture, and temperature shifts in a natural landscape.

We’ll use a limited palette to create harmony and depth, layering washes and using expressive brushwork to build up the scene gradually. Starting with soft, distant cliffs and trees, we’ll work forward into warmer, more detailed elements like sunlit grasses, glowing foliage, and shimmering reflections on the water.

This class is a gentle, meditative exercise in building atmosphere and subtlety through tone, colour, and brush handling. You’ll come away with a beautiful finished landscape and a better understanding of how to create light and mood with watercolour.

In this class, you’ll learn how to:

Use layered washes to suggest distance and depth
Balance warm and cool tones for realistic lighting
Create natural textures in foliage, rocks, and water
Paint a tranquil scene with clarity and atmosphere

Whether you’re new to landscapes or want to refine your skills, this is a relaxing and rewarding class that will help you grow as a watercolor artist.

Let’s begin and enjoy the process of painting this glowing, sun-drenched scene together.

Thank you so much for your interest in this class!

Try this class to explore your creativity...

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.

You'll Learn:

What materials and equipment to need to painting along
Basic technique to complete your first painting
How to avoid common mistakes
Choosing the right colours for your painting
How to blend colours and create textures for different effects
Making corrections and improvements
Finishing touches that make a big difference

When enrolled, I’ll include my complete ‘Watercolour Mixing Charts’. These are a huge aid for beginners and experts alike. They show what every colour on the palette looks like when mixed with each other. Indispensable when it comes to choosing which colour to mix.
