Description
NEW BONUS lecture added August 2023
When I am teaching beginners in watercolor painting I find one of the easiest things for them to get started with is painting fruit and vegetables.
Seriously ! Well they don't fade too quickly, they don't move and they are cheap and easy to get hold of, have great colours and shapes and when you've painted them, guess what? You can eat them.
So that's why I have chosen them to get you onto your next step up the watercolour painting ladder.
This will help you move on with your brush marks, colour mixing, shading, shadows AND building your confidence.
So follow through the lectures, play and learn then go on to select you own subjects and share the results with us all.
Some of the videos have appeared on my You Tube channel or in other courses. But here they are altogether and I will add more.
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

Here's a bit about me.
I originally trained as a graphic artist, and then followed a different career path working in the national media, travel and public relations in both London and Paris.
Cutting a long story very short I am now living in the south of France, near the Spanish border. I teach people how to paint with watercolours in classes and when they come on holidays.
As you can see I also teach via the internet and have my own online painting school called Painting with Nicola. If you want to know more about that, message me for details.
KEEP safe and Keep painting. Love Nicola
