About the Course

This four-week online watercolor course will walk through all of the watercolor techniques you need to learn how to paint one of my favorite subjects, landscapes! Each week of the course I’ll be sharing all of my best tips and tricks as we cover everything from stretching paper to creating textures to painting reflections, and much more.

My goal is that by the end of this workshop you will have the skills to:

  • Understand the start to finish process of creating a piece, from stretching paper to removing it from the board

  • Sketch out a composition by creating thumbnails

  • Mix color and build a palette

  • Work with a variety of brushes

  • Confidently paint a landscape using your own reference photo

A Little More Info

Course lessons will be pre-recorded so that you can go at your own pace. They’ll be released on a weekly basis, but you will have lifetime access to them once the course is complete.

Each week of the class will include a live one-hour session where I will answer questions and demonstrate techniques. These sessions will also be recorded in case you can’t join us live.
