Paint TREES with ease. My video demos show you how.
Learn a method you can use in different ways.
Course Summary
Painting trees in a landscape can be a challenge. Getting the right shape, colours and type can give you a painting headache.
Not anymore. My simple and clear video demonstrations will have you painting trees with confidence.
I have created a portfolio for you to use as a basic guide to tree painting. I have chosen common trees, both deciduous and evergreen and some exotic varieties too. Even if you don'r have exactly the same trees in your part if the world, my selection can be easily adapted to suit what you do have. Following my videos will soon have you painting trees at different times of the year, singly or in groups.
I have deliberately kept the colour palette simple for your convenience, but of course use what you have and what you see around you.
Painting these, or any other little samples, is so beneficial for your painting skills as they are not intimidating. AND remember if you can get the shape and the colour right, then you should end up with a believable tree, so relax and just enjoy the process of the doing.

Course Curriculum
"Nicola makes it all seem like such fun. I took Nicola's courses so I would have some ideal what I was doing when I spent extra time with my 8 year old who basically likes to have fun. It is fun being creative so who knows maybe I will make hand made cards for my friends or post some pictures in my house. I still have a lot to learn but I am having fun with it.''

"I loved the course, they are simple little techniques, but they can help to improve the quality of the landscapes made in watercolor. I recommend it for beginners and intermediate!''
Julio Sergio Mendes Machado
"I like the ease of these encouraging demonstrations and the instructions given by Nicola. So glad I am taking this course. I was so pleased to see that a watercolor paint box is used as it is portable and contains all the necessary colors for greater adaptation for the painting of the trees and foliage. I'm so very enthusiastic to begin painting with watercolor. Thank you!''

Why choose one of my courses?
Because, as a self-taught artist I understand how a lot of people feel about their creative work, sometimes anxious, sometimes overwhelmed, and often that it's not 'good enough'.
Well, I will hold your hand as you overcome these fears as I offer a friendly, relaxed and sensitive teaching style.
Do one of my courses and you will feel as if I am in the room with you every step of the way.
A bit more about me.
I originally trained as a graphic artist and then followed a different career path working in the media, travel and public relations.
After time working in these areas spent in both London and Paris, I moved into interior design, specialist painting effects and creating murals for clients in both the UK and overseas.
Now living in the south of France I continue with all of that but now also teach people how to paint in watercolours on painting holidays. teaching via the internet, film making and helping people with their marketing and promotional activities.
