Let's get paint moving! Feeling rusty? Afraid to make a mess? Let's jump in with some of my favourite fundamentals and easy projects. At the end we put it all together in a painting I know you're going to be proud of.
Gain confidence in painting trees and forests that are vibrant, loose and free, and truly bring your landscapes to life. Some of my most popular skills lessons are in this pathway.
Learn the secrets to painting old buildings full of charm and character. Tell their stories through your paintings. You’ll learn how to paint stonework, brickwork, wood and weathered surfaces, and put these skills into practise in some beautiful paintings.
Take your landscapes from meh to amazing! Emotion, drama, depth. These are what draw people into your paintings. This pathway is perfect if you've already have some watercolour skills, but want to take things a step further.

How this works on Patreon
When you join my Patreon as a paid member, you don’t need to choose just one pathway.
Your subscription gives you full access to all four pathways, and every lesson inside them — along with reference photos, drawings to trace, worksheets, and downloadable resources.
You can:
start at the beginning and work through in order
focus on just one pathway if that’s what you need
revisit lessons whenever you want
