This is a great course to learn by and end up with super painting.

REVIEW: 'This is what I was looking for at this stage of my introduction to watercolour, ‘Basic techniques’ how to layer the paint to produce a finished picture. I liked the way Nicola conducts her tutorial in a genuine relaxed manner as she takes you through each stage of the painting as this helped me relax into the project and not feel overwhelmed by what I was being shown. I now feel ready to move on to the next stage of Nicolas courses.'

This delightful and atmosphericpainting will help build confidence for both the beginner and the intermediate. In the process of painting this you will learn about colour mixing, colour values, creating a sense of distance and how to use your watercolour pencils for a special effect.

Use both a large and small watercolour paintbrush and gradually work through the process at your own pace, as where and when it suits you.

Each lecture ends at a natural break as I wait for the watercolourpaint to dry. Listen as I explain every step of the way,andask questions of myself as I work through the picture, problem solving as I go, an important process to learn.

Most of all become absorbed in the process of painting this watercolour picture.

• 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
