Watercolour Courses for gentle relaxation.


River Ure, North Yorkshire.


 Have you ever fancied painting in watercolours?

Can you imagine the joy it brings sitting beside a river on a Summers day, just looking at the scenery and nature. I often just paint in a sketchbook and it then doesn't matter what the outcome is, it's more about the enjoyment it brings to me sat enjoying nature.

Watercolour painting is far more than just painting pictures. It's such a release from the pressures of life and doing something just for you. 

You don't need to go out and find a river bank, it can be done anywhere. 

I've been running my online courses for over fifteen years now and I realise how important taking a little time for yourself is. My step by step videos are ideal for those wanting to take a quieter and relaxing approach to painting with no pressures. Gentle guidance.

If you would like more information you can email me jane at lakelandart@hotmail.co.uk or have a look at the web site Watercolour Courses with Jane Ward –  or I've even put a small video together about how the course is You tube link


The courses are designed to be taken anywhere, and if you are fluent in Yorkshire you will find the step by step videos a joy I'm sure.


Look forward to hearing from you 

Jane

How to make Easy Watercolour Tonal Cards

Do you find that your watercolour painting looks wishy washy ?

It could be that all it needs is a bit more strength and tonal range.

I made these these tonal cards, to help me figure out where in the painting I needed more tonal values.

The confidence that these simple cards made was fantastic and changed my watercolour paintings into more dynamic scenes. 

Here is a simple video to show you how to make them and how useful they will be in your paintings.




The tonal range in this painting needs more depth


The tonal range in Derwentwater is more varied and using just a few shades but more tonal values gives the painting more impact.




Blea Tarn  this is the second project on the Beginners online course and is perfect for trying out your tonal vales.
