An ESSENTIAL course updated 2022

A must-do course especially if you want to paint landscapes.

I am often asked how to paint believable skies and clouds. Follow these simple techniques and you will soon find it a lot easier.

Follow me as I take you from a clear blue summer sky, to fluffy cloud, winter skies, stormy skies and sunsets.

If there is one thing that ruins clouds is the lack of forethought about the brush marks. Use the right brush and be mindful of how you are putting the paint on or lifting it off.

There will be a sky for every painting.

What are the main things you will learn ?

1. How to work very wet.

2. How to work quickly

3. Learn how to lift off paint being conscious of the negative marks you make.

4. Master blending different colors.

Get to grips with these techniques and you will find it will really make a big difference to your landscape painting.

• Why choose one of my courses?

  Because, as a self taught artist I understand how a lot of people feel about their creative work, sometimes anxious, sometimes overwhelmed and often that it's not 'good enough'. I will hold your hand as you overcome these fears as I offer a friendly, relaxed and sensitive teaching style.

  I also have years of experience of teaching people of all levels both in person and via the internet.

  Do one of my courses and you will feel as if I am in the room with you every step of the way.

Enjoy your painting, love Nicola
