Learn how to paint my 2 FREE style watercolour paintings by following easy step by step lessons,for the beginner
From my latest trip to Venice I have produced these 2 beautiful watercolors and in this tutorial you will be taken step by step through the process of producing your own watercolors.I supply a drawing template for both paintings so if you are not confident in drawing you can still do this course.I have been an artist for over 30 years and all that experience is boiled down in these videos to teach you how to do it.

Art is such a beautiful way to express yourself and as a watercolor artist for over 30 years I can not urge you enough to give painting in watercolors a try,I never get bored with the effects of the colors on my paper,I still learn new techniques in my work every time I paint something,it is such a free and easy medium and it is well worth the time and effort you may invest.
To paint a watercolor picture is to escape into your own little world where nothing else matters and all your problems and worries can be forgotten, at least for a little while.
To give your own watercolor painting as a gift could not be more rewarding,I never get bored with the expression on the face of a friend or family member when I present them with an original watercolor painting which I have painted specially for them.
The medium of watercolor, for me, is the ultimate medium because even as a complete beginner you can achieve many effects using techniques which sometimes you are taught and sometimes you learn by complete accident which we call "happy accidents",such as when one color runs into another color and creates water marks or bleached paper,this is why sometimes I sit and watch the painting paint itself in front of my very eyes.
Of course now and then it does not work out as I wanted it to but all I have lost is a little bit of paint pigment,a piece of watercolor paper and a little time so I put that piece of paper to one side and start again!
Too many people have a go at painting with watercolors and think that they have to produce a perfect painting every time and they overwork the piece,desperate to get a finished painting to hang on their wall and of course they end up with a mess,get dispirited and give up announcing that they will never be an artist and so never paint again.
I would like to show these people the hundreds of watercolor paintings that didn't work out for me because without making mistakes you can't improve.I keep all my paintings good and bad and I look at the failures quite often,in these failed paintings there is quite often a part of the painting that I really like and I try to remember which technique,which colors I used,which brush made a particular mark on the paper so I can use these same techniques in my future watercolor paintings.
If I was stranded on a desert island,my watercolor kit would be the first thing I would wish for.Â
After taking this course the student will be more confident to strike out and do their own paintings

For 35 years I have been painting commemorative sports paintings, portraits and landscapes.Based in Stockport near Manchester,my work was aimed at the local North West UK. market.I was invited to do many live watercolor demos around the area which helped me develop my free and easy painting style.When my family and I relocated to North Wales in 2015 I embarked...
20 min a guardare uno che ricalca 2 disegni con carta carbone mi sembrano eccessivi
It is a good level for me.
I enjoyed the course. However, there were a few times when I needed more information; ie, type of eraser he used to erase the pencil marks? "Rigger" brush? Is that a liner brush? I paid about $35 for this course, and then it was offered within a few days for $9.95. I was not happy about that.
I would have liked David to have created a pdf of the two scenes to be sketched. Instead, I took a screenshot, enlarged it to A4 and printed it, by which point the quality of the image was very grainy.

Architecture in loose watercolor is a challenge for me, but this tutorial makes me think maybe I can do it. Thank you!
