I found your narration very informative to listen to as I'm trying to get to grips with shadows & layering. Looking forward to more of your fab vids. Thanks again.
Love how you lay down the initial wash and let your brush dance the detail, great inspiration, thank you
Thanks and the commentary on why you chose the colours or mix them in a scene is immensely important. Thanks
Enjoyed thank you. I am just starting out, so these sort of tutorials are very helpful and also just a nice way to spend a bit of time.
We’re here to help people discover the joy and excitement that comes from painting in watercolour. Our mission is simple — to take away the fear, confusion, and frustration that stops so many from getting started. We believe everyone has creativity within them — it just needs the right guidance and encouragement to grow.
Over the years, I’ve watched hundreds of students transform from hesitant beginners into confident, capable painters. That journey never gets old — it’s why we do what we do. We exist to make that same transformation possible for anyone who’s ever dreamed of painting but didn’t know where to begin.
If you’re new to watercolour, we’ll show you exactly where to start — step by step, without overwhelm. If you’ve painted before and are returning to watercolour, we’ll help you rebuild your confidence and refine your technique. Wherever you are in your creative journey, we’ll meet you there and guide you forward.
Own a one-of-a-kind watercolour, each piece is signed, unique, and full of character.
