I am an experienced teacher on various other platforms. My courses contain a large amount of content and information compared to other similar watercolour courses on Udemy. I like to provide as much value as possible in my courses, and different subjects to paint, so students can pick and choose which lectures interest them the most.

My goal is to provide simple videos to make learning watercolours easy & less intimidating! I use a limited palette, and when painting landscapes, have a loose, vibrant and expressive style.
Something unique about me, and Watercolour Mentor is that I have a psychology and educational background. I am passionate in making a difference on a personal level by providing real feedback and mentoring. I would love to hear from you. I'm primarily a watercolour artist and have won awards for my sculptural works. Teaching watercolours is my passion and I look forward to sharing my premium classes with you on this platform.
