6 landscapes in 6 weeks
An in-depth study of 6 different landscapes.
Watercolour landscapes
A comprehensive look at different landscape subjects and paintings
If you are uncertain about the best way to choose a subject and paint it, this is the course for you. Each of the six landscapes are studied in detail including why the subject was chosen and we also look at the important topic of composition. I then paint each subject, with a full commentary and every stroke included. Also included are useful downloadable factsheets and subject photographs.
Course structure
A detailed look at the painting process
The course is designed to be taken over 6 weeks to allow ample time for study and practise. Lessons are released weekly from the date you first access the course but are then available indefinitely allowing you to take as much time over each lesson as you wish. The format for each week is the same. We begin by studying the subject to decide on a suitable composition and then the subject is painted. You will see every stroke in full high definition video as well as the important part of creating the colour mixes. Every step is fully explained.

FAQ
-
Is this suitable for beginners.
The course requires at least some experience in watercolour. Complete beginners should try the Starting Watercolour course first
-
Must I complete each landscape in a week.
From the time you first access the course, a subject will be added each week for six weeks but thereafter you can take the course at your own pace. You can even revisit the course as often as you like.
-
How can I get feedback on my paintings.
The course discussion group is a great place to ask for advice or ask questions. As well as myself, all of the members of the group have enrolled in the course so it is a good way to share ideas. I will also use the discussion group to notify students of additional material that may be added to the course.

What will I learn
The six subjects have been chosen to highlight many of the common features of the landscape. You will learn how to choose and compose a subject as well as how to approach the painting of the subject. I cover choice of materials, colour mixing and I will be passing on lessons learned during over 35 years of watercolour painting.

Read MoreGrahame has clearly invested a great deal of time, effort and expertise in creating this excellent course. He is a wonderful artist and a superb teacher who empathises with our fears and gives us the tools and techniques to enable us to move forward on our own watercolour journey. He generously shares his thought process and approach, guides us gently through the challenges, helps us smile and learn from our mistakes - all with a great sense of humour. There have been many 'lightbulb' moments for me through the six weeks and I am so grateful his course came at just the right time. Many thanks indeed, Grahame.
