Learn How To Paint a Stunning Castle with Watercolor then Enhance the Picture using Pastel Pencils !
When I first started using Watercolour in 1980 I was inspired to copy the great artists such as Constable, Quinton and others. I couldn’t get on with oil or acrylic so turned my hand at watercolour.
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 completely unique and unlike any other watercolour pictures I saw.
I remained self taught, learnt 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 watercolour (as far as I know). My watercolour 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 watercolour paper or trace it using a carbon. I’ll also show you the materials I use in my watercolour 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 "Scotney Castle", a stunning place in Kent, England.
After learning how to paint the landscape you will also be shown how to enhance your watercolour with Pastel Pencils! You will see how to make your pictures even more vibrant, colourful and stunning.
I hope you enjoy learning my watercolour techniques, once you are finished, please do share your artwork via the Q &Â A section or message us using Udemy's messaging tools.

I loved this course and learned a lot!
Could speak a bit more clearly, but overall good.
This was a great course-long but thorough. I wanted to learn how to pain trees and this definitely did the trick! Thank you!
Loved it! Thank you
Very good introduction to the course. Let’s the student know exactly what to prepare beforehand.
Excellent teaching for each part of the study. I love the detail in the building in particular. Also treating trees so individually so each one stands out with its own sense of importance.
So thorough and encouraging. He has the experience I want to learn from!
I like the art corses from Collin here on udemy most....I´m very happy with my own results of paintings now. So far this painting I done is my favorite.
Excellent course, but there are many camera focusing issues. Not a show stopper, just annoying.
This course was a real challenge for me! I loved it but it took me days to complete. Sure worth the fee! Mr. Bradley was fun and his skill level is master!! I worked my heart out and could not come close to his amazing Castle painting!!!
I learned so much and made so many mistakes I quit worrying about it! LOL I worked on perspective, shading, color combinations, new watercolor techniques, the use of soft pastel pencils to enhance your work, how to go back and change an area is the values are not right, and so much more but I can't think right now because it's 3:00 AM. Just couldn't stop painting until I finished! I'm not happy with my water and my water lilies are a bit fat but overall, in spite of the fact that it differs from the instructor's quite a bit, I still like what I have accomplished. I'm actually proud of myself! If I can figure out how to post my painting, I will do that.
