Hi everyone, hope you’re all doing well! I am really excited about this blog post as I have wanted to write it for a long time, but have never quite managed to get round to it. Over the years I have often been asked questions about how I achieve such straight outlines in some of my paintings, today I am hoping to share some answers and give you guys the information you need to try this in your own work if that’s what you want to do. Of course no tutorial or demo is ever perfect, so if you have any questions at the end of it - please do comment below and I will do my best to answer or to point you in the right direction!

At the end of 2019, I asked my Instagram followers what they wanted me to Blog about in 2020 and the overwhelming response I got was “Geometry and Watercolour”.

Well, its now June, we are a couple of months into the Corona virus lockdown and high time I got started…

So after a little thought and given there are already lots of free geometry resources available, I thought I would start by taking a look at getting started with watercolour!

This post will focus on paint and paper and will include some of my recommendations. If this is of interest read on! If not then we will see you next time :-)

Day 2 of the course at the Prince's School (11th of November) took off in an almost literal burst of colour as Sam started to unpack and layout the powdery pigments and dishes of paint that we would spend the day working with.  We all crowded round the desk laden with colour just waiting for the chance to jump in!
