Description

I was in the planning stage for my next collection of large watercolours when it dawned on me that the actual process of planning the paintings was as important as drawing and painting them.

I have therefore made this tutorial where I have added the planning stages as well as the painting

You will see how I picked a prime location to inspire.

Barmouth in North Wales is where I started this piece.


You will see the best sketch I made in situ.

By making my sketch in situ. it means that it becomes etched into my brain so that when it comes to doing the painting, I can see what I visualised at the time.

You will see which paints I use.

I use just a 7 colour palette for most of my watercolour paintings, you will see that can make any colour needed from this very limited palette.

You will see which brushes I use.

I only use 2 or 3 brushes and I keep to pretty big brushes to stop me fiddling too much'


This course is on how to plan a masterpiece not how to paint one.

All these things in just a 2  hour lesson! Give it a go, but be careful, you might be inspired to have a go at the full size piece!

See you soon, David.

I originally made this course showing me planning and painting  "Red boat" , this will now be added at a later date.
