This will help guide your water,
not fight it. (1:37 min) ⤵️
2 reasons why you keep fixing:
Slide the bar to see the difference:
We need to strip away all that noise,
and take control of what really matters.
Start simple. Be in control every step of the way.
Control the amount of water inside
a simple form where it's easy to track.

A simple shape is just a bigger form.
Shapes "contain" their own water and pigment.

If you can control one shape, you can paint the next and the subject emerges.

If you can control 1 shape, you can control the entire painting.

Now the student isn't guessing.
She knows what to practice, and how.

Simple subjects helped me control
my water, so I can paint effortlessly.

For 4 years I painted
fixed, added more water
and even more paint.
I thought I could save it.
But watercolor doesn't work
that way. It only turned my paintings into muddy, overworked messes.
Then I did something different:
I stopped trying to paint
"the whole thing". I broke it down
into smaller shapes that allowed me to control my water and color more easily.
Everything changed.

The Result:
Clean colors.
Even washes.
Edges stayed sharp.
Using this shape approach, I won 1st place out of 117 artists in a major competition. I even got invited to show my work in Italy!

What you need to know to help you decide
1.) No Guesswork: You’ll paint with an approach that's been tested and proven by many students before you.
2.) Bite-Sized Projects: We don't do huge, scary paintings. We focus on one small thing at a time so you never feel overwhelmed.
3.) Paper-Level View: You’ll see the water up-close. You can watch exactly how it moves so you can copy it at home.
4.) Just the Basics: No markers, pens, or fancy tools. We use only water and paint—the way watercolor was meant to be used.
Experience doesn't matter. Understanding does.
You’ll learn the right way to do things now, so you don’t have to fix bad habits later.

The Watercolor Painting System course is a one-time payment.
It’s not a subscription or membership model, which usually involves recurring fees, undue pressure to finish quickly and often encourages jumping between courses without fully diving in.
Because simple shapes let you see exactly what the water is doing.
Starting with painting a masterpiece, uses too much water, too much pigment making it difficult to control.
You'll always end up fixing without knowing what to change.
No drawing skills? No problem.
I've included "Skip the Drawing" templates. You just trace the shapes and get straight to the fun part: the painting!
You’ll get instant access after purchase.
