I love using watercolours in my sketchbook to capture fleeting moments, colours, and ideas from my surroundings. These little studies often become the starting point for my larger artworks — and sometimes, they’re simply a joyful creative escape.
Although watercolour is a wonderfully versatile medium, it can also feel a bit intimidating at first. So in this class, we’re tossing out the rule book! I’ll guide you through simple, practical ways to loosen up, embrace spontaneity, and start painting with freedom and confidence — today.
What’s Included
Over three hours of real-time video tutorials you can watch and paint along with at your own pace.
Inspirational reference photos to spark your creativity.
A beginner’s “Quick Start” guide covering essential tips, tools, and techniques.
A series of fun projects and exercises designed to help you explore expressive watercolour styles in your sketchbook.
No strict materials list — use whatever paints and paper you already have and make the process your own.
Step away from perfection and rediscover the playful side of painting in this expressive watercolour class. No Rules Watercolour is all about letting go of expectations, embracing spontaneity, and learning to trust your instincts with colour and flow.
Through a series of relaxed, real-time lessons, you’ll explore how to paint loosely, layer intuitively, and find beauty in the unpredictable nature of watercolour. We’ll experiment with mark-making, colour mixing, and composition — all without the pressure of getting it “right.” This is your permission slip to make a glorious mess and fall in love with the process of creating.
No experience needed and no strict materials list — just bring your paints, a sense of curiosity, and a willingness to play.
