It's Not Your Fault
Your Paintings Are Overworked

Most tutorials don't help because:

1. Your water and pigment never match theirs.

2. Steps switch between beginner to advanced.

Why I Created This Course

Broderick Smiling with glasses and short hair, wearing a black zip-up. Background displays a corkboard with various small photos and postcards.

Hi Broderick here!

I started watercolors in 2014,
pushing my paint back and forth

thinking that more strokes
will make my painting look good.


It only turned my paintings
into muddy, overworked messes.

It was exhausting.

I persevered for 2 long years.

I painted this way everyday, until I decided
to stop painting "masterpieces" and simplified how I painted.

Only then I discovered that there are specific steps
that had to be done in a certain order.

I was able to replicate my successes
and feel more confident in what iI was doing.

Two watercolor illustrations of traditional Asian pavilions, surrounded by greenery. The left features earthy tones; the right has stylized, abstract trees.

This allowed me to paint
different subjects and styles.

I studied different watercolor artists' work and
noticed that they too, were using the same steps.

I've taken their master-level secrets
and simplified them into a fast

reliable sequence to help you paint

the way watercolor is meant to be used.

My Paintings Today.

If you’re still searching for that missing piece, it’s usually just a gap in your process. All you need are the right steps, in the right order.

That's what you found here today.

“I’ve done several courses prior, read books, but your explanation & close videos have finally let me understand what I was missing/doing wrong (even using my palette properly and I’m only 2 modules in). THANK YOU Broderick…

“Holy Guacamole! In ALL the watercolor courses I've taken so far (did I mention I've taken a LOT of them?) NO ONE has shown me this process. All the teachers assume we know this going in. I did that and the exercise was brain-dead easy! This technique is worth the cost of the course. (Should I stop now?)"

“I've taken so many on-line courses, watched YouTube videos, followed artists on Patreon and gone to in-person classes and retreats. No one ever taught me the lessons in Module 3, a total game changer! I was skeptical at first but I'm so glad I signed up for it. It completely changed the quality of my painting.”

What other students have asked about:

Your questions, answered.

Is this course a one time payment or subscription?


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.

What does this course offer that others don't?


Most YouTube and online tutorials show you what the instructor is doing, but leave out the how and why.

I’m Broderick Wong, and my background in teaching and watercolor painting has made it possible to teach watercolor the way it's meant to be used.

I've used the Watercolor Painting System™ to help over 900 painters move past "YouTube mud" and gain total control over their water and pigment.

What skill level is this course designed for?

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.

New Painters: Start the right way. Skip the mistakes and the "messy middle" that most people get stuck in.

Self-Taught Painters: If you feel like your art is a "lucky guess," we’ll give you a real plan that works every time.

Ready to Level Up: If you’re tired of fighting the water, let’s learn how to make it do what you want first.

Is this self-paced or secheduled?

Learn on your own schedule—no deadlines, no pressure.
This course is completely self-paced, so you’re free to move through it as quickly or as thoughtfully as you’d like. You’re in full control of your learning journey, every step of the way.

What if I don't know how to draw?

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!
