An extra lecture has been added in response to a student's question.
This is a 'learn as you paint' workshop. In other words you will be learning how to paint with water colors as you actually paint a picture. Complete this bright and juicy picture of the strawberries on a plate and improve on you existing skills and learn others..
Follow each VIDEO DEMONSTRATION for the techniques to complete the painting. Relax and enjoy painting as and when it suits you and at your own pace, and see how well one of my students got on with the same picture at the end.
At anytime you can post questions for any advice and also for feedback on your finished painting.
There are also plenty additional notes, professional tips, and extra tuition notes which you can download to build you own 'theory' folder'.
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 will save you time and frustration, just to understand how this platform works.
If you haven't already got you brushes and paints.
Where to get your materials and equipment.
Start
my checking if you have a shop near you which supplies artist
materials. Begin with your telephone directory. If getting to a
supplier is difficult there are plenty of companies who have a
presence on the internet and will ship in your own country or
worldwide.
Below
are three examples. If you know of another good resource please let
me know and I will add it to the list in order to help other
students.
For
everything 'arty' based in the UK but they ship all over. I use them
even in France:
