PAINT COLOR. History, codes explained, charts, mixing & tips

The only color bible you will need for your watercolor painting. Understand your colors & paint with confidence.

Course Summary

This is the only course you will ever need to help you get to grips with your watercolor painting, how the colours work, the mixing, matching and how to get the most oput of them for your painting project.
The subject of paint colours is a massive subject and this does not cover everything, but here I have condensed and simplified the subject to give you a good understanding and a helpful basis to really get to grips with your watercolor paints.
I have deliberately kept it simple and  chosen

Course Curriculum

"I learned important things that are often neglected in a beginner's course, such as properties of paints, color wheel, mixing colors and more. Valuable information. Thank you.''

Why choose one of my courses?

Because, as a self-taught artist and neurolinguistic coach I understand how a lot of people feel about their creative work, sometimes anxious, sometimes overwhelmed, and often that it's not 'good enough'.

Well, I will hold your hand as you overcome these fears as I offer a friendly, relaxed and sensitive teaching style. Gently weaving in some messages to help you change your internal dialogue and become more self-aware

Do one of my courses and you will feel as if I am in the room with you every step of the way and for a long time after that.

By the way, I sell as well, so what better recommendation could you have about learning from me?

A bit more about me.

I originally trained as a graphic artist and then followed a different career path working in the media, travel and public relations.

After time working in these areas spent in both London and Paris, I moved into interior design, specialist painting effects and creating murals for clients in both the UK and overseas.

Now living in the south of France I continue with all of that but now also teach people how to paint in watercolours on painting holidays. teaching via the internet, film making and helping people with their marketing and promotional activities.
