What is it that's been holding you back from finding your inner artist?
- You don't know what equipment to buy or where to start?
- You've tried painting on your own but can't seem to get anywhere?
- All the tutorials you have watched are too fast, don't go into enough detail or can't help you fix your mistakes?
- You don't want to have to go through all the boring first lessons and paintings of fruit to get to the good stuff.
I get that when you first make the decision to learn to paint you might not care about all the technical terms or the artsy fartsy jargon. You just want to be able to create something beautiful you can be proud of. In this course I explain my painting methods in simple language anyone can understand. Warning: sometimes I may use my own technical terms such as a "smidgen" or a "splodge" of paint.
I also understand that you might not get it right the first time and you may need to make corrections along the way. That doesn't mean you should give up. That's why I include troubleshooting tips and advice on how to fix common mistakes in my lessons.
I know you don't want your art to be a poor imitation of somebody else's work, you want to develop your own unique painting style. That's why I show you the basic art techniques to create realistic looking paintings but I encourage you to expand and experiment so you can create the work the way you want it to look, not the way I am doing it.

Lesson 1 - Tools and Equipment
Firstly I show you all the paints, brushes and other equipment that you will need to finish this course. Also included is a bonus painting equipment checklist.
Lesson 2 - Create a colour gradient background
You will learn to mix your paint to the right consistency, apply the paint to the canvas and to blend colours seamlessly using only paint and water. At the end of the lesson you will have a colourful background for your seascape painting.
Lesson 3 - Add the waves to your painting
In this lesson you will learn how to show form in a painting using light and shade, how to mix shadow colours and apply them and how to use negative space to make adjustments to your painting. Included in this lesson is a colour wheel template for you to download and keep.
Lesson 4 - Adding movement and finishing touches
The final lesson in the course is where I show you how to make your painting look a little more real by adding some reflections and movement to the water. Then we add a few finishing touches and reveal your finished artwork.

Painting Style
I like to paint in a variety of styles, that is why I was approached by Artable studio to teach in their weekly acrylic painting class. That is also why I can help you learn to paint, whatever your style is.
Painting Mediums
I have taught classes and workshops in acrylics, watercolour and pastels and I have worked on a variety of surfaces. Acrylic painting, however, is my specialty.
