Take the Fear of Watercolor OUT – 5-Week Beginner Course

Take the Fear Out of Watercolour – 5-Week Beginner Course (book your first class)Love watercolour but secretly feel scared of it? After teaching lots of students, I figured that each one of you has the same problem!Does your paint sometimes turn muddy? Do you struggle to know how much water to use? Do you feel like your brush doesn't do what you want it to? Or perhaps you've watched lots of tutorials but still don't feel confident enough to paint on your own?This 5-week live watercolour course is designed to change that.Together, we'll take the mystery and fear out of watercolour through simple exercises, playful experiments, and lots of painting.You don't need to be naturally talented. You don't need previous experience. And you definitely don't need to create perfect paintings.You simply need to bring your curiosity and a willingness to play.## What will you experience?Across five weeks, we'll spend time getting to know your watercolours, brushes, and, most importantly, water.You'll practise:

• Water control and understanding the different stages of wetness
• How to use your brushes with confidence
• Wet-on-wet and wet-on-dry techniques
• Colour mixing and how to avoid muddy colours
• How different amounts of water affect your paint
• Simple exercises to loosen up and build brush confidence
• Painting from references without feeling overwhelmed
• Creating beautiful, loose watercolour paintings
• Understanding *why* something isn't working and how to fix it

And there will be lots of painting!Rather than simply watching a demonstration, you'll be painting alongside me, experimenting, and asking questions as we go.## This is for you if...

• You're a complete beginner and have always wanted to learn watercolour.
• You've bought the paints and brushes but don't know where to start.
• You've tried watercolour before but found it frustrating.
• Your colours often become muddy or dull.
• You never know how much water to use.
• You don't understand why your paintings don't look like the tutorials.
• You're an intermediate artist but still don't feel confident with the fundamentals.
• You want personal guidance rather than another recorded tutorial.
• You simply want a fun, supportive space to paint and build confidence.

## Why learn with me?I'm Richa, a dentist-turned-watercolour artist and teacher, and I know how intimidating it can feel to start something completely new.My teaching is not about creating a perfect painting.It's about helping you understand your materials, experiment without fear, and develop the confidence to make your own decisions with your brush.Because I truly believe that the problem isn't a lack of talent — it's often a lack of guidance and practice.My aim is that by the end of these five weeks, you won't be staring at your paints wondering what to do.You'll be thinking:“I know what I'm doing. Give me my brush!”## What makes this course different?This is a small group and interactive experience.You won't just sit and watch me paint.We'll paint together, and you'll have the opportunity to ask questions, show me what you're working on, and get guidance along the way.It's a safe space to make mistakes, experiment, and learn.No judgement. No pressure to be perfect. Just paint, play, and learn.### Want to try before committing?You can try a single class for £32.Come along, experience the class, paint with me, and see how it feels.If you love it, you can continue with the full 5-week programme.### Come and take the fear out of watercolour.Five weeks of painting, experimenting, learning, and building confidence — so you can finally stop being afraid of your watercolours and start enjoying them.
