🌟 BONUS lecture with extra resources added August 2023. Dive into the world of watercolour painting and elevate your skills with a course tailored to help you capture the essence of any short-haired dog in your artwork.
This is not just any 'how to' paint a picture course. As one of the TOP selling instructors for watercolour painting on this platform, I, Nicola Blakemore, know exactly what my students need at every stage of their painting journey. I am here to guide you through the process of painting a portrait of a shorthaired dog using a simple yet effective formula that can be easily adapted to other breeds once you grasp the basics.

Course Breakdown:
- Setting Up: I'll show you how to start with a simple photo reference, print it out, and transfer it onto watercolour paper – a crucial first step for any painting.
- Problem-Solving: As we progress, I'll share with you some of the challenges I face and demonstrate how to overcome them. Mistakes are part of learning, and I'll guide you through mine so you can avoid them.
- Colour Selection & Application: I'll use a limited palette and a tested method to gradually build up the colours, starting with a base layer and developing the depth as we go. This approach will teach you how to bring your subject to life with vibrant, realistic colors.
