Would you like to paint this little girl in watercolour?

You too can paint this sweet little girl in loose, expressive watercolour. 


Follow along with me in this real time, fully narrated watercolour painting tutorial.


I'll guide you every step of the way. 


Got an afternoon to spare?

Lean over my shoulder and watch me paint in real time in this fully narrated video tutorial lesson.


You can paint along with me and discover just how easy and relaxing painting in watercolour can be. (Yes, even if you are painting people. 🤗)


Along the way you will learn all my best tips and tricks for simplifying a complex subject and making it approachable. 


You'll learn to embrace the loose expressive approach to capture the essence of your subject without all the fussy detail.


So. Much. Fun.

Worried that people are hard to draw?

No problem - I’ve done that part for you.


This tutorial includes a downloadable copy of my line drawing to get you started.


But I will also be offering you plenty of encouragement to give drawing the figure a try - or at least start thinking about it! 😉

FAQ

  • What is included in this watercolour tutorial?

    Follow along with me, step by step in real time, from blank page to finished scene. The course materials include the reference photos, line drawing, real time, fully narrated video lessons, complete supplies list and downloadable lesson summary pdf

  • Is it suitable for beginners?

    I would describe this as a beginner/intermediate project, only because I know that the idea of drawing people seems to scare so many of us! But since I have done the drawing for you, much of that concern should be eliminated. All of the videos are fully narrated. I talk a lot (or so I'm told) which means there are lots of tips and guidance at every stage. You can follow me along every step of the way.

  • What if I can't draw?

    No problem - I’ve done that part for you. This tutorial includes the downloadable line drawing so you can get directly to the fun of painting.

  • When do I get access to the class material and for how long?

    The tutorial class is self paced. You get immediate (and forever) access to the whole class so you can binge/pace yourself and of course, rewatch at your convenience. You can also speed up or slow down the videos to your liking.
