Watercolour - Fast and Loose

Are your watercolor paintings stiff and lifeless? Do they suffer from too much detail?
Do you want to loosen up and make exciting pictures?
​Then this short course is for you!

Topics covered include: 
  1. Colour Harmony : hold a painting together with a pale wash
  2. Absolute Minimalism : cut out all but the bare essentials
  3. A Box of Tricks: use every tool at your disposal
  4. Big Shapes-Small Details :  paint the big shapes first, then add details 
  5. Fast Foliage : create distinctive foliage with just a few marks        
  6. Strong Contrasts : place dark against light for powerful pictures
  7. Make the Ordinary Extraordinary :  transform any scene into a spectacular painting
In this unique 7 part course I’ll teach you how to paint  watercolour landscapes in a fast, loose and free style. Each weekly part of the course is based on the style and methods of a particular master of watercolour impressionism. From these great artists you will learn how to paint in a loose and free style. The course will be most suitable for those who already paint in watercolors but is really for anyone who just wants to loosen up.
​The course comes with videos, showing you how to do it, practical and helpful sheets of  step-by-step instructions, and an introductory talk for each lesson. 
The 7 parts of the course look at the work of  seven of the great watercolour painters of recent times.
​
They are Frank Webb, Edward Seago, John Yardley, Claude Croney, Jack Merriott, Tony Couch, and Edward Wesson.

This to say how much I have enjoyed your Watercolour Fast and Loose course. I have learnt a lot. Each part kept me busy and interested, and the weekly timing was just right. Many thanks for such an enjoyable course. Harold Douglas

Andy, loved the Fast and Loose course. Thanks again for your wonderful lessons. Patsy Spittler

Dear Andy - love this course - I'm learning watercolours in a more interesting way than demonstrated at my art club. Terrific. Peter Broadhead

Many thanks for the course – it’s EXACTLY what I needed. Tony Macelli
These are wonderful exercises for developing a loose (or looser) application of watercolors. I love painting landscapes and admire watercolor painters whose work seems fresh and loose--almost effortless. I now think it's possible to achieve that myself. The examples (wonderful landscapes by professional watercolorists) seem carefully chosen to allow for a quick painting with good results. And I appreciated all the tips, advice, and encouragement.

I have done your watercolour fast and loose course - enjoyed it very much and learnt a lot. I intend repeating some parts and learnt about artists I had never heard of. Brian o'Donovan
