Three Suggested Ways to Learn
Choose the one (or more) that suits you best

OPTION 1
Book a beginners half day course then go it alone, maybe also buy the e-book to guide you through the process.
This option is best suited to those, who may not be comfortable
learning in the company of others, and prefer it to be a solitary experience.

Maybe even book the odd hour on Skype for additional guidance if required.

OPTION 2
As above but also come to one of the regular Art Clubs. This option would suit someone who's idea about their hobby is to learn at home sometimes, but who would like to improve their circle of friends, and learn in the supportive company of other budding artists, and like minded people.

OPTION 3
Any or none of the above, but also to book a complete structured course, over a number of sessions to suit you.
The Course is 20 Lessons in Length each taking 3-4 hours
  1. ALL ABOUT LIGHT
  2. LOOKING SEEING AND PAINTING SIMPLE TONES
  3. REALLY LOOKING AND DRAWING WHAT YOU SEE
  4. COMPOSITION
  5. COUNTER-CHANGE
  6. RECESSION
  7. COLOUR MIXING
  8. WHICH BRUSH TO USE FOR WHAT
  9. THE 3 MAIN PAINTING TECHNIQUES
  10. OTHER TECHNIQUES AND OTHER NEAT TRICKS
  11. AVOIDING MUD AND KEEPING IT CLEAN AND FRESH
  12. PAINTING SKIES
  13. PAINTING LAND
  14. PAINTING WATER AND REFLECTIONS
  15. PAINTING TREES, BUSHES AND GRASSES
  16. PAINTING BUILDINGS
  17. PAINTING PEOPLE, ANIMALS, BIRDS AND BOATS
  18. PAINTING STILL LIFES AND FLOWERS
  19. PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER
  20. FINDING YOUR OWN STYLE
There is also a supplementary FREE LESSON at the end of the course called Presentation, Marketing and Exhibitions.

THE OPTION 3 COURSE
This is the most intensive way of learning and is completely flexible, and designed to suit you.
You can learn at a speed to suit you having lessons a few times a week, or once a month or more frequently, it is completely your choice, and you can change at anytime you like.
The course is designed with your total convenience in mind.

You can either book, and pay for blocks of lessons say four at a time, or book the whole course which makes an ideal Birthday or Christmas Present. Buying this way is also the cheapest method and comes nicely presented in a gift box which includes a unique, Hand- Painted personalised Greeting Card
and invitation to the course. It also comes with a Free Gift of the CD of the whole course, so that special someone in your life has something to wet their appetite, on their special day.

OR MAYBE YOU DON'T NEED THEM ALL ?
You can even 'cherry pick' from the lessons if there are some subjects you feel will be less interest to you, maybe because you already feel that these particular areas, are your strengths, perhaps. If this is the case just choose the lessons you need.

The course is available either in Cherkovo, at a location of your choosing (by special arrangement), or in a Hotel in beautiful Sozopol on the Black Sea Coast Resort, at additional cost.

If you would like to discuss any of these options, or any of your own then please let me know.

Remember a Gift of Watercolour Painting Lessons lasts a lifetime, and not just for Christmas !
