Learn to paint still life in watercolour. In six sessions with Linda as your tutor (and Laura working along as a student), we’ll cover the materials and equipment you’ll need and a variety of techniques for painting your chosen objects including:

  • colour mixing tips
  • quick methods to draw your subject easily
  • washes
  • lifting out
  • masking fluid
  • water soluble pencils
  • oil pastel resist
  • negative painting
  • composition


We’re delighted that you’d like to learn to paint with us. Here’s a little more information about what the course is all about:

The subject of the course is the Still Life. We have devised the sessions to suit both those new to watercolour painting and those with some experience who wish to follow a structured approach. Linda will be your teacher and will demonstrate the techniques that experience and experiment have proved work for her. Laura has volunteered to work alongside Linda throughout all 6 sessions so you’ll benefit from two different styles of painting.

We’ll be sharing everything we know to help you create a beautiful still life painting of your own and with our usual chatty style you’ll have a load of fun along the way. You’ll be able to feature your own favourite objects or print out photos of the exact things we work from if you prefer to do that. Sign up at any time and work entirely at your own pace. You’ll have unlimited access to the videos and will be able to watch as many times as you like.

  • 6 practical video workshops plus a bonus demonstration on stretching paper

  • During the course you'll try: colour mixing, quick methods to draw your subject, washes, lifting out, masking fluid, water soluble pencils, oil pastel resist, negative painting, building a composition

  • Work entirely at your own pace – there’s no time limit on accessing the course materials.

  • Reference photos to work from
