Paint a Traditional English Watercolour in Easy Steps
What you'll learn
- In this watercolour course you will paint a traditional English scene where you will learn how to paint full summer trees, coloured stonework, an old mill wheel, and a stream with reflections. I have also included demonstrations on how to paint trees, stonework, and graduated sky. At the end of this full course you will have produced a beautiful watercolour scene.
Requirements
- This course is for beginners who want to paint a traditional watercolour. You can use students colours, 3 or 4 brushes and some decent rough watercolour paper.
Description
The course starts with some practice demonstrations on how to paint summer trees, stonework, cottages against dark trees, and a graduated sky wash. The full lesson is a painting of an old mill wheel with buildings and surrounding trees using features from the example demos. The course is broken down into bitesize pieces so that you can have a break at any point you fancy. At the end I will show you how to present your artwork. I have included a photo of the finished painting in the resources section for you to download and work from.
Who this course is for:
- If you are just starting with watercolours, or have some experience then you will gain by taking this course. You will learn how to paint stronger watercolours that jump out from the paper and take you to another level.

I now have a purpose built teaching studio above our art gallery which features all my work and is owned and ran by my daughter Lynn. I have my paintings in many collections including some members of the Royal family.
