Rosie is a retired nurse from a seaside town in Western Australia, who finally cracked the code on watercolor painting after a few months of painting.
My name's Rosie, and I live in a seaside town called Busselton, about 250 kilometers south of Perth in Western Australia.
Watercolors enchanted Rosie since her high school art classes. Although she never had any formal training, it was the style she'd always wanted to learn.
Rosie tried teaching herself through videos and step-by-step watercolor books. "I couldn't seem to work out why things would work or why they didn't work. The 'just follow what I do and do what I say'approach wasn't working for me."
Then study, marriage, family, work, and life caught up with her and the dream went on the shelf.
At the end of 2025, Rosie retired after more than 45 years in the health sector. At the top of her retirement plan: "Learn to paint watercolors properly".
"I really didn't have any kind of understanding of the basic principles. That's why I wanted to start again, at the beginning, with guided instruction."
A Google search led her to award-winning artist Broderick Wong, who had been on the same journey himself and built a course to address those exact issues.

Broderick explained (his process), relationship between the water, the paint, and the paper for those elements to work together.
"My skill level with the techniques became more automated. I could see myself improving with each exercise and even began to anticipate how an image would be constructed."
Where it all began: Dated March 2nd
(written 2.3.26,down under)

Rosie started with learning a predictable process that helped control her technique. This is not random. It's a natural result of a dependable process.
"I finally produced paintings I know that are deliberate, not a fluke. That's a really special feeling."
"One other benchmark moment is when you know you've started to develop that watercolor x-ray vision, how to go about deconstructing it and then putting it together in a watercolor painting kind of way."
Rosie’s heart sings for marine life. It's what she set out to paint in watercolors.
However, after exploring a mountain landscape in the Mini Paintings course, she unexpectedly unlocked an entirely new world of creative horizons.
Dated March 2nd and May 15th
(written 15.5.26 down under)

Rosie completely surprised herself. The process she started with unlocked creative possibilities beyond her expectations.
It made me tentative and a bit scared
to mess things up and that got in the way a bit.
"If you apply the process that Broderick teaches and trust it,
you will have success.
You'll produce paintings you're really proud of, and that you're happy to show your friends, family, and even strangers."

"The light is good there and I have access to the sink and water. I have my eye on a drafting table on wheels. Once it's set up, it can be wheeled into the spare room."
It's the creative fuel that will keep inspiring you through every new wash and every single project you paint from here on out.
Within just her first week, she brought subjects
to life with stunning realism.
"Gradually I began to get a feel for the paint, the water, and when the conditions were right. That's the bit I call the art."
The science of how the elements interact came together with the art. When something went right, I knew why. When it didn't, I knew how to fix it.

From Guesswork To Understanding
Your 3 Strengths is simple and so easy to follow. I’ve always had a hard time figuring out the water to paint ratio. I really enjoyed the course and I’m kinda sad it’s done.”
Marianette Cheu

"I can't believe I did that. You got me to the point where I thought, I can do this. I'm so happy when I look at my painting. As a student, it wasn't such a big painting that you got lost. You know you can be successful, and that makes you feel like you can do this and then the next one."
Ann Watman

"It gives me confidence to understand when I’m doing something right or when I’m doing something wrong. So many artists on Youtube just let you watch them paint without explaining what they are doing or why. One advantage of Broderick's classes is he sneaks in 10 repetitions into 1 exercise."
