What You’ll Get From This E-Book

This e-book will help make you better at watercolour painting.

While it was written with beginners in mind, if you’ve dabbled

with watercolours for some time, and feel frustrated with your

results, this e-book will help you too.

I’m a great believer that anyone can be taught how to paint...

or draw... or be “artistic”. I know from many years of firsthand

experience that you don’t have to be blessed with a God-given

talent.

My goal with the Watercolour Secrets series is to get you quickly and enjoyably to

a point where you can consistently create eye-catching watercolours - watercolours

that please you, that satisfy you, that fill you with pride when you show them to

friends and family.

I was frustrated by art at school...

I was taught about “concepts”, “themes” and “expression” but no one ever showed

me the nuts and bolts of art. Nobody told me how to mix colours or when to apply

wet paint to damp paper or how to break a complex object down into simple shapes.

Nope... I was supposed to pick the basics up as I went along.

You’ll find that Watercolour Secrets is the polar opposite to this approach.

Every lesson, whether it’s in this e-book or one of our many videos, shows you

HOW . I don’t assume, like my schoolteachers did, that you’ll “ just pick it up ”.

It’s amazing what you can achieve when you’re shown step-by-step. I’m convinced,

having seen the results that complete beginners have achieved after following the

Watercolour Secrets series, that most skills in life can be acquired by all of us.

I promise, that with a little bit of practice (not years of trial and error) you’ll see great

results - and quickly too.

Print this e-book out - fast draft or economy printing will do. Take it to your painting

station (mine is still usually the dining room table) and follow along. Read through a

lesson and then have a go! That’s the most important thing... to have a go... and to

have fun!

Please look out for me in the next few weeks in the free video lessons that

accompany this e-book. Until then enjoy your painting.

Best wishes,

SECTION 1

CREATE WHATEVER YOU

WANT WITH SIMPLE SHAPES

Section 1 – Create Whatever You Want With Simple Shapes

1. Using basic shapes to create any object, whether it’s a flower, a figure, animal or anything else isn’t new. It’s

been used for hundreds of years. Breaking down an apparently complex object to a series of basic shapes

makes it a whole lot easier to draw before you even have to think about adding paint!

2. I just use five basic shapes – circle, square, oblong, oval and triangle, as (A) above. You can see how you can

easily manipulate these shapes (B) below, by stretching or compressing them to suit your subject. And don’t think

you have to draw your basic shapes as neatly as I’ve achieved with these computer images. All that’s necessary is

something like my (very!) rough outlines (C) further down. These rough shapes are what I used in all of the

WATERCOLOUR SECRETS TIP:

I’ve deliberately drawn many guidelines throughout this short-course a lot

heavier than they need to be, like the ones above. This is so you can see

them easier. However, I recommend you keep your own guidelines as light

as possible – just enough to be able to see them. Then, when you come to

erase them having drawn your finished item, they’ll be much easier to

erase and this is less likely to damage your paper.
