Description

This course can also be viewed as a standalone course or with Understanding Watercolours for beginners and beyond - Part 1


How to understand the importance of the colour wheel, and what benefits it will bring to your painting.

This course will cover the colour wheel, and the suggested selection of watercolours to allow the mixing of a multitude of colours, from just 6 initial  watercolours. I will show which colours are warm and which are cool.

Where on the colour wheel the watercolours are placed, will enable the student to correctly decide the compliments of colours.


I will show you how various watercolour techniques make the painting of watercolours more interesting.

We will look at painting buildings and various techniques for painting trees.

We will look at painting a country lane with trees.

And finally we will explore perspective!


I have also provided a download of watercolour techniques and a number of drawings, which you will be able to utilise to start your own layouts/paintings. you will be able to follow what is happening in the course lectures and complete all the work shown at your own pace. The downloads will also include colour guides, course notes; paintings of skies; and washes.

Who this course is for:

  • This course is for the very beginners in watercolour.
  • For those wishing to refresh their knowledge.
