Nature has a way of bringing peace and inspiration, and in this class, we’ll capture that feeling in a beautiful countryside landscape using watercolour. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced artist, I’ll guide you through simple techniques to create soft skies, rolling hills, and reflective waters, all in a loose and enjoyable way. No stress, no perfectionism, just the freedom to let the paint flow and create something wonderful.

We’ll focus on expressive brushwork and atmospheric effects, allowing the landscape to feel fresh, natural, and full of life. With techniques like wet-on-wet washes, layering, and dry brushwork, you’ll learn how to simplify complex scenes and paint with confidence.

Even if you’re not painting along, you’ll gain valuable insights into composition, colour harmony, and how to capture the mood of a serene countryside setting.

In this class, you’ll learn:

How to paint soft, glowing skies using wet-on-wet blending
Simple techniques for creating depth in rolling hills and distant landscapes
How to suggest trees and foliage with loose, expressive brushwork
Techniques for painting calm reflections in water without overcomplicating things

Our project will be a tranquil countryside landscape where we bring all these elements together. The beauty of this scene is in its simplicity you don’t need to paint every detail to create a painting that feels alive. Instead, we’ll focus on light, colour, and atmosphere, allowing the watercolours to work their magic.

By the end of this class, you’ll have a peaceful landscape painting that feels expressive and natural, and more importantly, you’ll have enjoyed the process of creating it.

Grab your brushes and join me on this creative journey. Let’s paint landscapes that truly come to life!

Thank you so much for your interest in this class!

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.
