Course Summary

Here is the 'get you started 'painting course you have always wanted..........AT LAST.

Many people would like to make art by painting, but many don't even try in their adult years because they 'believe' that they don't have the talent, don't know any technical stuff and more likely than not, somewhere along the line somebody told them they weren't any good at it !

So this created a 'limiting belief' which inhibited them from enjoying a fun, relaxing, soothing and expressive creative pursuit.

Get ready to change that 'limiting belief' and enjoy painting for it's own sake through this non threatening and friendly 'play - cedure' with English artist and tutor, Nicola.

This is what one student posted in her blog :- 'I was so surprised to find that she (Nicola) started very simply, just playing with water and unmixed colors of paint. Slowly a beautiful patchwork of designs appeared on her page. Where borders and boundaries in the art were a bit blurred, she went in with a pen and neatened them up. Sometimes she chose to add designs with the pen and then paint over them, and other times she added swirls and triangles to the dried paint. With growing excitement I realized that this project was well within my comfort zone.'

With no one looking over your shoulder and no expectations you will find you are learning through play and gaining the confidence to do more. Most of all just enjoy the pleasure of doing it.

Nicola Blakemore

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.

''I am a beginner painter and found Nicola's course to be excellent. The format allowed me to start, stop or re-do at my own speed. Her techniques were clearly and easy to follow. Her approach was friendly and I felt as if I was in her studio. I was able to practice and produce a result that amazed me. The quality of the video in both visual and sound elements was very good. I am looking forward to doing more of her courses.''  Andrea Swan
''It really does let you play. I've had other books and course tell me to make a color chart for instance, and it was just a chore. But I ended up doing the same thing in this course without it feeling like a chore I had to get through, but an interesting thing to play with. Nothing I didn't know was useful to do before, but now I want to do it with all the colors I'm using and that changes how I see and use the results.''        Kathleen Byrne
''This is a wonderful and useful course for any beginner and even for those with some experience. Drawing is never easy but with Nicola's simple instructions you learn fundamentals such as shading and lighting which will be important for the rest of your artistic journey no matter the medium. In future videos I would love to see the watercolor palette and water jars included in the camera's view; I feel this would enhance learning because you can get a better view of Nicola's technique in action.''  Sue Morris
