Here's what you'll discover in DVD 1... |HIDE THIS|

DVD 1 covers the basics like choosing the right paints, brushes and paper. But much more than that...

It shows you how to give your watercolours that depth and richness of colour. When you learn about mixing the right type and strength of colours, your paintings will look vibrant, fresh and really pleasing on the eye

1. In DVD 1 (Getting Started) you'll see a simple technique that shows how to mix the right strength of colour. It makes such a difference to the final painting. In fact, this technique is repeated throughout many of the lessons so that it becomes second nature to you.


2. Depth of colour or contrast isn't so much about the colours you use but the tones - that combination of lights against darks.
   
   Also in DVD 1 you'll see a unique monochrome tutorial where we use a single colour only. Owners of Watercolour Secrets have said that after following this tutorial it helps their paintings to have more depth and richness.

3. For each lesson you're shown exactly which colours to use and how to mix them. You don't have to guess and as a result, in no time at all, you'll instinctively know how to do this without any guidance.


4. One of the core philosophies behind Watercolour Secrets is to keep things simple. That includes only using a limited palette of watercolour paints.
   
   The beauty of that is your paintings look fresher and more vibrant... and you don't get bogged down by the overwhelming choice of paints sold in your local store.

So if you want your watercolours to have more colour, more vibrancy and to 'jump off the page' then Watercolour Secrets can definitely help you.

Just like it helped these course owners to do the same:

"...So far, I can say that Watercolour Secrets has encouraged a much bolder and less timid painting style. I am using stronger colours, giving a fresher, less overworked result than before."
Michael from Ashtead, Surrey, England.

"... and the course has taught me to be a lot bolder with values than I previously was, with the result that my paintings are richer and interesting now. Thank you Bob. Looking forward to your next series!"
Claude from Ottawa, Canada.

After you watch and follow Watercolour Secrets you'll find it much easier to both draw and paint various types of buildings...

If you avoid adding buildings and structures to your landscapes it really limits the scenes available to paint. But a poorly drawn house or barn or church can ruin a painting before you even pick up a brush.

Here's how Watercolour Secrets helps you to paint all types of buildings from rustic barns to intricate architecture:

1. The Bonus DVD (click to see details below), that comes free with Watercolour Secrets, is all about drawing for watercolour landscapes. In particular, there are 3 step-by-step lessons that make it easy to master perspective...


2. REMEMBER: A well-drawn but poorly-painted building will always look better than a poorly-drawn, well-painted building. In other words, getting the drawing right is the most important part!


3. DVD 6 consists of 11 tutorials dedicated to painting various types of structures - starting with a simple barn, progressing to a beautiful English church.


4. DVD 6 also shows you how to paint various building material textures, such as wood, metal, rust and brick.

And of course... the tutorials are NOT simply demonstrations. Bob explains exactly what he's doing and how to replicate it...

Are buildings and perspective something you'd like to improve? If so, Watercolour Secrets can certainly help you.

Just like it helped these course owners to do the same:

"When I was in University (many years ago) my instructor and I sweated 'blood and tears' trying to get perspective into my thick head and clumsy pencil hands. A few minutes watching the videos and it clicks! So many wonderful hints and tips. I just can't praise this product enough. Thank you so much for Watercolour Secrets!!!"
Maureen from Ontario, Canada.

"My favourite lesson is 'Stone Built' as I learned that you are never too old to see more ways to paint old and new stones in their various forms, colours and textures. Many thanks for a wonderful art course Bob. I now view my own art in a new light."
Ernest (Pop) from North East England.

"I am very pleased with the 'lessons' and have already improved my style and developed skills in painting buildings particularly. I have found that the subject matter covers so many topics that I have wanted to know about. The format is easy to follow in nice short bursts."

It not only makes your learning process quick - it makes it fun and rewarding.

Watercolour Secrets can help complete beginners better than any other instruction course because:

1. It shows you exactly what to do with the brush, paint and paper.


2. Bob's teaching style is designed to encourage you and fill you with the self-confidence that you CAN do it.


3. You're shown the all-important fundamentals like: how to draw with basic shapes, how strong to mix the paint, what "light against dark" actually looks like and so on.


4. It's designed as a complete step-by-step course rather than a random selection of demonstrations (the format of most TV art programs).


5. The course comes with a watercolour materials guide so you know exactly what you need to get started.


6. You'll meet other complete beginners in the Watercolour Secrets forum who will give you plenty of support and encouragement.

Here are some Watercolour Secrets owners who were also complete beginners:

"Being a total novice this course has been a real teacher explaining terms and showing step by step each new description and idea, so I can get an good idea of what I should be doing instead of guessing. I cannot thank you enough for showing us your talent and your ability to share your knowledge so well. I know that I will enjoy each and every moment spent painting with you as a guide."
Debbie from Hamilton, New Zealand.




"You have explained everything in great detail and in a language that even a novice like me can understand.I would recommend these to anyone that is thinking of trying watercolor for the first time (just like me)."
Denise from Umina, New South Wales, Australia.




"I was a total beginner and was turning out what can only be called rubbish but now even I am quite proud of what I have produced - not quite brave enough yet to show it. However if I continue to improve - and with this site and the DVDs I have absolutely no doubts about that - I will pluck up the courage if only to hopefully inspire others."
Jacqui from Reading, Berkshire, England.

I have some experience with other mediums (such as oils or acrylics) but I'm new to watercolour painting

"I have some experience with other mediums (such as oils or acrylics) but I'm new to watercolour painting"... |HIDE THIS|

Watercolour Secrets gives you the same level of confidence and pleasure painting watercolours that you currently enjoy with other mediums...

In fact, there's a good chance you'll quickly become more proficient in watercolours than in other mediums you may already paint with. Not only that...

Many of the skills you develop after watching the lessons in Watercolour Secrets will help to improve your paintings in other mediums!

Here's why:

1. An entire DVD is devoted to composition, perspective and drawing great-looking landscape elements by using simple shapes. These are the crucial foundations to ANY painting in ANY medium. And you'll be able to master them quickly!


2. The course shows you exactly what to do with the brushes, paints and on paper. This can be quite different compared to oils and acrylics for example.


3. It's designed as a complete step-by-step course rather than a random selection of demonstrations (the format of most TV art programs) so you can learn at your own pace.


4. The course comes with a collection of downloadable pre-drawn scenes. These allow you to start painting a scene straight away to practise your watercolour techniques (if you don't want to practise the drawing element).

Here are some Watercolour Secrets owners who also had experience with other mediums but were new to watercolours

"I've tried almost all kind of painting mediums, from pastel to acrylic but have always stayed away from watercolor since I found it too difficult to control. But 'Watercolor Secrets' has shown me the right and easy way (with practice) to paint with this remarkable medium. Although I'm not finished with the course yet, I have found all lessons to be so useful and easy to follow. I would like to thank you for this truly amazing course. "
Albert from Ottawa, Canada.




"I have a degree in Art but I've never done Watercolors. Wow!! Your instruction is personable and the information you share in a relaxed, "no big deal", manner has made me into an avid watercolor artist. Thanks and keep up the good work."
Maury from Tucson, Arizona, USA.




"As I am new to watercolours, these DVDs have given me an insight into technique and know-how that I am certain will be just what I need to improve my paintings. Up to now I have been "putting colour on paper". Now, I believe I am learning "how to paint with watercolour". I am thoroughly enjoying the DVD series and would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn to produce great watercolour paintings."
L. Chiasson from Canada.

I have been painting with watercolours for a while but know I could do better. I'm frustrated with my results

"I have been painting with watercolours for a while but know I could do better"... |HIDE THIS|

Watercolour Secrets is designed to take the frustration out of watercolour painting and make it much more fun and rewarding for you...

It helps you to improve the specific areas that let your paintings down so that the elements you are already really good at can shine through.

If you've been painting watercolours for a while and feel that you should, or could, be getting better results, Watercolour Secrets can help you:

1. The course shows you HOW... exactly HOW... which can replace years of frustrating trial and error in a few minutes.


2. Watercolour Secrets simplifies everything taking you back to basics in a non-patronizing way. By mastering the fundamentals it will let your more developed skills shine through.


3. Because Watercolour Secrets is organised into logical steps and lessons, it's easy for you to tailor the course to YOUR skill level.


4. The course comes with a collection of downloadable pre-drawn scenes. These allow you to start painting a scene straight away to practise your watercolour techniques (if you don't want to practise the drawing element).

Here are some Watercolour Secrets owners who also have experience but wanted better results:

"This is by far the very best course on watercolours that I have found. No matter how many classes you have or have not taken, this course is well worth the money! When I was in University (many years ago) my instructor and I sweated 'blood and tears' trying to get perspective into my thick head and clumsy pencil hands. A few minutes watching the videos and it clicks! So many wonderful hints and tips. I just can't praise this product enough. Thank you so much for Watercolour Secrets!!!"
Maureen from Ontario, Canada.




"I painted with watercolors years ago, but lacked confidence. I have really enjoyed Bob Davies Watercolor Secrets. I have learned how to start a painting with confidence."
Hannah from New Hampshire, USA.




"I absolutely love to paint, but sometimes I get discouraged or unmotivated. This DVD set has inspired me to keep painting, and I already see some real improvement. Nothing thrills me more than stepping back and looking at a painting that I did, and saying "not bad!". Your gift of teaching is truly wonderful. I do feel that nothing is impossible. You are very encouraging and approach each topic with a simplified yet truly effective style of instruction. A great value when you consider the cost of a "private lesson!"."
Patricia from Stratham, New Hampshire.

"I consider myself a proficient watercolourist and I'm looking for advanced techniques"... |HIDE THIS|

In all honesty Watercolour Secrets is possibly not the course for you.

You may well pick up tips and techniques that improve your paintings further but the course is aimed much more at beginner and intermediate watercolourists.

What we can say though is that experienced artists give Watercolour Secrets their highest recommendation for beginners and intermediates. For example, Georgina from Ontario, Canada says:

"I've been painting over 40 years and I remember when I first started water colour painting I naively thought that you just sloshed paint on with wonderful results.

I soon learned that there are techniques involved in producing a good water colour painting, so I read and searched....took useless, expensive courses with limited information. What I needed was concise instruction and information I could access any time at home.

Well... finally I found it! "Watercolour Secrets" which covers absolutely everything you need to know right at your fingertips. All sorts of hints and tips.

Bob presents the lessons in a pleasant, reassuring, easy to listen way, on excellent quality DVDs.
