Watercolour Made Simple

Over the years in my illustration business I have listened to the call for an in-depth beginners watercolour course, the kind that could never be completed in a single day workshop – the one where you start overwhelmed and anxious and end completely transformed, not only in your skill and ability but in your creative confidence and mindset. This go-at-your-own-pace course gives you the freedom to carve time out to learn within the demands of everyday life without making you feel like you’re falling behind or losing out.

This course answers one big question

Could someone just make learning watercolour simple?

 

Let’s first take a look at

The Problem

what HAS STOPPED YOU BEFORE?

 You just don’t know where to start, buying the wrong supplies worries you.  OR  You’ve bought supplies but feel anxious and frozen when you try to begin.

 You don’t know what you need to be practicing to get better, you’re frustrated that what comes out on paper is not reflecting what you had in mind.

 You’re spending more time  consuming  content than you actually practice creating :  Pinterest, youtube tutorials and Instagram... just one more video and then you'll start.

 Problems one, two and three are leading to you not getting enough time in to practice and see results, making you feel doubtful of your ability and the feeling that   “ you’re just not creative ”

Watercolour Made Simple takes each of these problems and breaks them down into actionable steps through five carefully curated modules, walking you through watercolour in an easy to understand way.

I’m not asking you to be perfect, to get it right the first time or start a creative business after watching one video. I’m asking you to trust the process and yourself, to be open to making mistakes, to learning and practicing and experiencing a full and impactful transformation in your creative journey.

In the comfort of your own home and space I’m your personal watercolour cheerleader!

FAQ

+ How long is the project?

It may vary from one client to another but generally 4 – 5 weeks.

+ What is the payment plan?

I require a 50% deposit on project start and the remaining 50% when we’ve completed the project, before sending final files. I am happy to discuss custom payment plans if need be.

+ do i need to book?

Projects spaces fill up pretty quickly, it’s always best to book at a minimum of 1 month in advance or pop me a message to see what availability is like.

+ IF 2 REVISONS ARE NOT ENOUGH?

By the time we are working on the revison sets, we would have covered enough ground together, knowing your business heart with a clear vision that this shouldn’t be the case. However, there is always room for us to discuss reasons why this may be and additional time added to your quotation.

+ CAN WE MEET IN PERSON?

I am based in Cape Town, South Africa so if you’re in town – absolutely! Alternatively, I’d love to ‘meet’ you one screen to another over Skype or Whatsapp to discuss your brand questionnaire.

+ DO YOU DESIGN A LOGO ONLY?

To benefit from the strength and impact of an artful and dynamic brand identity that tells your story – a logo, on it’s own, is not enough. Branding is deeper than aesthetics only – it’s really about speaking directly to your dream client and carving out your unique place in the market with your one-of-a-kind story. I believe in startign where you are with what you have, but saving to invest richly and wisely in your business.
