Have you ever found yourself on a bush walk, standing at a lookout or pulled over on a road trip and thought, I wish I could paint this?
I’m putting the finishing touches on a new online course to help you do just that. We’ll use watercolour alongside charcoal, pencil, ink and coloured media to turn Australian landscapes into paintings full of colour, texture and feeling.
We’ll play with different ways of seeing a landscape, find the balance between watercolour and mixed media, and build towards a final painting. You can follow along with my travel photos, then take what you’ve learned to your own favourite places.
Ever looked at a landscape photo and wondered where on earth to begin?How do you choose which details matter? How do you capture the feeling of a place, rather than every leaf and branch?
We’ll start with colour, shape and simple compositions, then bring in charcoal, pencil, ink and coloured media for marks that feel lively and unmistakably yours. You can paint along with my Australian travel photos and learn how to approach your own.
Across 10 video lessons, we’ll explore:
You’ll also have reference photos and a companion eBook to work alongside the lessons.
