Winter Walk
WATERCOLOUR TUTORIAL
You too can paint this sweet pair of kids on a winter walk 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.
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.
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! 😉

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.
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.
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.
A comprehensive supplies list of everything I used is included, but I always recommend using what you have where possible.
Watercolour paper 300gsm (140lb) cold pressed recommended
Watercolour paints
Large soft round brush suitable for watercolour
Pencil for sketching
