Let me present a super quick course that will help you move to a higher level with your watercolour painting progress.

It's also a great STRESS BUSTER.

This very short course will help you understand the volume of your subject. it's form and encourage you to FREE UP your painting style

As one of the TOP selling instructors for watercolour painting on this platform, I know what my students need at all the different levels on their painting journey. And one of the comments I hear over and over again is ' I want to paint in a more loose style. Bolder more relaxed and more fluid.' is just one of them. So here is something which will help many of you.


  • Do you want to go beyond 'colouring in?'

  • Drawing an image then painting between the lines?'

  • Copying again and again?

  • Build your CONFIDENCE with your painting?

  • Become more relaxed and let go of control?

Then THIS short course is for YOU.

You may have been painting with watercolours for a while now, but are ready to raise your game and take your painting to a higher level.

It's only painting a bunch of grapes. But take it step by step, and you will see the difference.

This course will help you jump ahead. Trust yourself, let go of control, relax and discover the true magic of watercolour. Trust yourself to look at the chapes and not just the outline.

This is a short course so is priced accordingly.

Enjoy your painting, love Nicola
