REVIEW:
'I loved the fact that your lessons were truly created with basics in mind! I have been painting on my own, or with some occasional lessons for a few years. I now feel more confident with the fundamentals which I had not been sure of before. thank you' Lorraine Sargent
If you've always wanted to paint with watercolor paints but just do not know where to start. This course is for YOU. Created by a selling artist.
This may be mostly suitable for adults.
Why? Because as adults you collect limiting beliefs about what you can and can't do. Painting might be one of them.
This is a 'learn through play' course and is very basic You will simply learn how to get the paint from the box via the brush and onto the paper.
You will paint an apple three times but in different ways so that you can escape the draw and 'colour in' method you learnt as a child.
If you want to make a start to paint without feeling intimidated by the paints, the process or the expectations. By simply playing with your paints, coloring simple shapes your understanding will grow as will your confidence.
DO NOT take this course if you need a formal structure and are not prepared to learn through play. I will not talk about the names of colours, colour mixing, composition or drawing. It is just to get you started.
If you have already been painting with watercolors, this course is not for you.
Why choose one of my courses?
Because, as a self taught artist I understand how a lot of people feel about their creative work, sometimes anxious, sometimes overwhelmed and often that it's not 'good enough'. I will hold your hand as you overcome these fears as I offer a friendly, relaxed and sensitive teaching style.
I also have years of experience of teaching people of all levels both in person and via the internet.
Do one of my courses and you will feel as if I am in the room with you every step of the way.

Enjoy your painting, love Nicola
This is what one student posted in her blog : - 'I was so surprised to find that she (Nicola) started very simply, just playing with water and unmixed colors of paint. Slowly a beautiful patchwork of designs appeared on her page. Where boundaries and boundaries in the art have been blurred, she went to a pen and neatened up. Something else to add to the designs and to add some swirls and triangles to the dried paint. With growing excitement I realized that this project was well within my comfort zone. '
Learn how watercolor paints work with the water, then you will get the best from them.
A colour wash is the most used technique, learn how from the start.
Students will l learn to layer washes to make objects appear three dimensional.

Interactive, easy to follow, therapeutic, I have been doing it in between working hours during my breaks. Something to look forward to everyday..:) Keep them coming! Soo looking forward to the next one.
Learning first time painting and done so far all the practice examples and happy about my own paintings. Thanks for teaching such a nice course!
Yes, I like this course very much. I have never been good at painting or drawing.
I do feel more confident after completing the exercise with painting and drawing the apple. I will continue to follow along and see how it goes.
The exercise is good, is like to see a little more.
You are wonderful. I absolutely loved the wax technique for rough surface and the bowl looks absolutely beautiful. Thank you for taking the time in explaining different techniques. I am enjoying the course content.
I have barely started it but so far so good.
The course started well, but as others have pointed out the video quality is poor at times. We are provided only one reference photo of an apple at the beginning of the course, the remaining reference photos are completed paintings. This is inconsistent and makes learning proper light and shadow placement difficult. When I asked the instructor she responded that my expectations were reasonable, but was ultimately unwilling to provide the original reference photos or update her course. This was a complete turn-off for me and now I don't even want to continue. I know this is a course for beginners, but consistency and professionalism are still important. So, for these reasons, I can only give the course 3 stars.
fun, informative, relaxing

As a beginner in water painter, I enjoy the step-by-step and slight humour from Nicola. I enjoy watching the freedom and simplicity and still seeing a beautiful painting in the end. As someone who always wants to get her paintings perfect, I like seeing that it doesn't need to be!
