Welcome to my watercolor painting website. I am an Australian watercolor (watercolour) artist and have been painting and teaching watercolor for over 14 years. I created this site as an online watercolor painting demonstrations, techniques, and information resource for my students and other artists interested in the art of watercolor painting. The site in time will cover the full range of watercolor painting topics from those most needed by the beginner watercolor artist to those for more experienced artists still looking to further develop their techniques and art career.
After a number of requests for printed versions of my watercolor demonstrations I have created an online Store where, for just $1.00, you can download any of the demonstrations in an ad free and easily printable PDF format.
In addition to my demonstrations you will find useful watercolor painting tips and tricks and step by step “how to” articles to do with watercolor techniques. There is also a sample of my watercolor art under the Gallery section of the menu. My watercolor paintings cover a wide range of topics which include landscapes, seascapes, river scenes, Venice , people and wildlife, flowers, and street scenes.
Details of my weekly watercolor lessons and regular workshops are also provided and under the resources tab you will find a glossary of watercolor terms and links to other websites that may be of interest to you.
I have tried to make my comments apply generically to the field of watercolor painting but obviously there are no absolutes in any field of endeavor. The comments I make on this site are based on my own style of painting and if you do not agree with something I say then that is quite OK as the most important thing is that you paint what, and in the way, that gives you the most pleasure.
Furthermore, the more I paint with watercolor, the more I have found that there are usually a number of ways to achieve a particular result. The important thing is to get out your watercolor materials and produce paintings!
Your comments and requests for particular watercolor demonstrations or articles would be appreciated, please contact me through my contact page above.
Watercolor painting has given me a great deal of pleasure over the years and I hope the demonstrations and techniques on this website helps you enjoy painting with watercolors as well.
