Join me to paint with watercolour this year! This video is for you if you're curious about starting watercolour, if you're a complete beginner looking for some tips and exercises to get started with or if you've been painting for a while and would like to know more.
INFORMATION
You'll find lots of extra information about me on my website, including all the supplies I regularly use. You'll find downloadable line art for many projects and reference photos for those projects where I've used one. You can also sign up for my quarterly mailing list for news and exclusive offers.

Projects are posted for personal use only. If you'd like to licence my work commercially, please contact me for a quote. I always appreciate a credit if you post work online that you've made from following a tutorial or using my downloadable line work.
SUPPLIES
I've listed below everything I've mentioned in this video, but I'm not giving recommendations for the *best* watercolour supplies because I've not done extensive testing on lots of brands. The products mentioned are all ones I like and use, but they may not suit your style or budget!
Watercolour paint sets:
Winsor and Newton Cotman Sketchers Set (The version I'm using is from Cass Arts who often have this version with the one professional series paint in it)
