Description

When I first started using Watercolour in 1980 I was inspired to copy great artists such as Constable,



Quinton,



and others. I couldn’t get on with oil or acrylic so turned my hand to watercolor.

As I had never gone to art school I just went with my instincts and



had





fun!

Because I tried to copy the great artists, the techniques I developed were





unique





and unlike



any



other watercolor pictures I saw.

I remained self-taught and learned as I went along and what you’ll see in this course is a result of years of learning through mistakes and finding



what worked.

You’ll also see techniques



never before attempted with watercolor





(as far as I know)



. My watercolor pictures, even though they’re “impressionistic”, have a sense of



realism



about them.

In this course, I’ll give you an outline drawing so that you can print this straight to watercolor paper or trace it using carbon. I’ll also show you the materials I use in my watercolor work.

Then we’ll get started with the paintings which are split into “easy to digest” parts.

With this course you will learn to paint “Boats in Landscape” a picture originally done in Pastel Pencils and now I’ve decided to try it in Watercolour. In this 1.5-hour course, you’ll learn to paint a sky, trees, foliage, sea, boats, and more!

I hope you enjoy learning my watercolor techniques, once you are finished, please do share your artwork via the Q & A section or message us using Udemy’s messaging tools.
