    This is my first online course, and where else do you start but at the beginning?

    Lessons in Layering with Watercolour

    How to create artworks with depth, interest and detail

    Duration: 2 hours and 40 minutes
    Skill level: Intermediate
    Suitable for ages 10+

    This new intermediate course is my third online course, following on from Welcome to Watercolour and The Magic of Colour Mixing. In it, we’ll dig into basic and more advanced layering techniques, you’ll spend time experimenting with ways to layer pigment, and learn how to create different effects (as long as you can muster the patience to let things dry properly as you go!) You’ll gain greater insight into my practice, as we explore how to create artworks with greater complexity, detail and interest. We also take time to delve into common errors and equipment care. 

    $79 or $149 bundled with my Watercolour Painting Kit.

    Compose, Paint, Create Part 1

    Let's put composition into practice painting watercolour botanicals with Natalie Martin

    Composition, but make it fun! In this course we are going to explore ways to create successful compositions using the principles of art as our tools. This is a hands on course where we will be applying these principles to artworks we create, learning as we go. The outcome will be a greater understanding of composition, the role it plays in our artworks and a clearer path to creating successful artworks.

    Composition is such a large subject that I've created not one, but two courses! The first course or Compose, Paint Create Part 1 is launching in August and the follow on course, Compose, Paint, Create Part 2, later in 2023.
