Discover How to Paint Exquisite Watercolor Landscapes with Confidence & Consistency... Regardless of So Called 'Natural Ability"In less than 30 days from now, Watercolor Secrets Guarantees you'll be painting the best watercolors of your life - stunning, vibrant watercolors that you can't help but show off to others!
If you've ever wanted to paint beautiful watercolor landscapes, paintings that you're proud of, paintings that bring you tremendous satisfaction... then I think you'll be interested in what this site is all about. Painting watercolors should and can be one of the most enjoyable and rewarding of past times. The loose and free style can be so therapeutic and inspiring... Unfortunately so many people struggle with it. They know what they want to produce on paper - they have this wonderful picture in their mind - but the results often disappoint them. Their pictures lack any real color or depth. Skies are bland and boring. They toil endlessly with water, figures and trees. Pretty soon, they develop the belief that "you have to born to be an artist".
Yet this belief - that it's all down to natural ability - simply isn't true!Here's why... Let's pretend you're not much of a cook and you're suddenly thrown into a restaurant kitchen and asked to cook a 3-course gourmet meal. How would you fare? How would the meal turn out if you had no recipe to follow, you didn't know what ingredients (or what quantities) to use and you weren't sure how the equipment worked? Chances are it would be a disaster. But would you put your failure down to lack of natural ability... or simply that you'd never been shown? Now suppose you had a friendly chef by your side to demonstrate exactly how to cook that meal - what ingredients and quantities to use, the timings, how the equipment worked... Within no time, you'd be able to reproduce it to the same standard, or maybe even better. And if that chef showed you a number of dishes and a range of techniques that you could apply to all kinds of meals... well, suddenly people would start talking about your "natural talent" for cookery. Here's the key to successful watercolor painting: When you discover the simple building blocks that make up a watercolor painting, and exactly how to reproduce them yourself... You'll be able to paint literally any landscape with confidence, consistency and enjoyment
Better yet...
It will take you a fraction of the time and effort that trial and error does. It has little or nothing to do with natural talent. You can paint stunning watercolors, even if you've never held a brush before. Watercolor Secrets shows you how. The Most Comprehensive Watercolor Landscape Course AvailableWatercolor Secrets is a unique, step-by-simple-step video instruction course. It's made up of eight key steps and what they reveal will make you an excellent Watercolorist - wherever you are starting from. This means that your hobby will bring you more joy, more fun and more satisfaction. Here's a taste of what you'll discover inside:  How to Get Started
For those who are completely new to watercolors, we cover everything you need to get started - the best paints, brushes, paper and so on.
But even for more experienced watercolorists, you'll find some really useful tips in here about brush strokes, choosing and mixing colors (and grays) and much more.  How to Draw for Watercolors
Imagine if you could draw any landscape - any scene you like - and it looked realistic, in proportion and well composed. You don't have to be a superb sketcher but you MUST get the drawing stage right. In this step you'll discover:
- How to easily tackle even complex objects like animals or intricate buildings by using the "simple shapes" technique
- How to master perspective first time, every time
- How to scale your sketches (or photos) up and down so you paint any size watercolor you like
- How to create great compositions so that your pictures have that professional look before you even pick up a brush
 How to Paint Skies
Nothing adds more atmosphere to a watercolor than a dramatic sky. And sometimes, a relatively plain sky is best, helping to pull the entire picture togther. Whether you want to produce an evening sky or fearsome clouds, this section will show you how:
- How to paint flat and graded washes with ease
- How to paint stormy, breezy and rainy skies
- How to create sunlit and moonlit skies with shafts of light breaking through the clouds
 How to Paint Mountains, Hills & Rocks
So many watercolor landscapes are based around a scene involving mountainous back drops, or rolling hills and valleys. That's what we cover in Step 4. Not only that, we zoom right in and look at rocks and stones and the many textures that define them. It's surprising what a good rock or two can do for your painting!
- How to paint snow-capped mountains
- A simple way to create mountain mist
- Numerous stone and rock textures
- How to paint rolling hills and valleys
 How to Paint Trees & Foliage
Step 5 looks, in detail, at one of the most popular topics in watercolor painting - trees and foliage. By learning to paint a select few you'll have the tools to reproduce literally any species you come across.
- How to paint winter trees and evergreens
- How to paint the olive, palm and eucalyptus
- How to paint the acacia, tangled mangrove, willow and spruce
- How to paint trees in full spring-time blossom
 How to Paint Water
This section is a personal favourite of mine, simply because it's based on so many requests we had from our visitors. In Step 6, you'll discover how to paint all different types of water:
- How to paint reflections
- How to paint puddles
- How to paint rocks underwater
- How to paint a stormy seascape and crashing waves
- How to draw all kinds of believable boats
 How to Paint Buildings & Structures
Step 7 shows you how to paint various types of buildings and structures, with far greater ease than they might look at first glance. There are literally an infinite number of buildings and structures that we could have covered. But we've narrowed it down to a select group of lessons and, I believe, if you follow these you'll feel confident tackling any building you come across in the future :-)
- How to paint stone work and brick work
- How to paint wood, metal and rust
- How to simplify a complex skyline
- How to use the pen & wash technique
 How to Paint Figures & Animals
Last, but certainly not least, is Step 8 - figures, animals and artifacts. These are the details that bring your pictures to life - they can add movement, energy, character and scale. Many people shy away from these finishing touches for fear of ruining their work at the last hurdle. After watching this section that certainly won't be you!
- How to paint people that look like real people!
- How to draw & paint wild animals
- How to draw & paint domestic animals
- How to other paint bits & bobs that add real character to your watercolor landscapes
 So How is the Course Delivered?
All the lessons in Watercolor Secrets are delivered via high quality online video. To ensure the videos play smoothly for everyone AND retain clarity (unlike many YouTube videos for example), we've used the very latest video conversion techniques. Not only that... For each video there are 2 options - highest quality for people with superfast broadband and a good quality (that loads even faster) for times when the Internet might be running a bit slowly. Better yet... You also have the option of downloading all the videos to your computer (or a CD). You'll have them for life, plus you won't require any Internet connection at all to play them back. Here's one of the sample videos to give you an idea of the format:

Watercolor Secrets also comes with some great free bonuses...
FREE Bonus #1: Pre-Drawn Templates
We've taken 15 of the most popular scenes from the course and created a downloadable drawing template for each. You can print these out (and we show you how to transfer them on to watercolor paper, and scale them up or down) and begin practising the techniques you've learnt straight away. Each one comes with a color reference photo and list of material used for the picture.
FREE Bonus #2: High Quality Reference Photos
We've created a library of high resolution photos that you can use for your future watercolor paintings. The library is divided into categories that match the course so that you have plenty of reference material to practice with!
FREE Bonus #3: Supportive Members-Only Forum
Why not share your watercolors with other members to get their feedback and input? Or ask other members any question you have about watercolor painting.
The Bottom Line...
We've tried to price Watercolor Secrets as fairly as possible.
The course is made up of the equivalent of 15 regular art-instruction DVDs... which typically sell for $15-$20 each. That would be a combined price of $225-$300...
But Watercolor Secrets is very different from a typical art-instruction DVD. It's designed as a complete landscape course, with each section naturally progressing from the section before. This just isn't something you can get from a collection of DVDs, which often only give you a random collection of lessons.
More importantly, mass-produced DVDs frequently consist of the artist painting a couple of scenes from start to finish. While inspiring, you're very often left in the dark about exactly how to reproduce similar results yourself.
Now I certainly hope Watercolor Secrets inspires... and entertains you, AND as well as that I promise you'll find out exactly how to reproduce what I do on screen.
Of course, $300 doesn't make it particularly accessible to a lot of people. And we do genuinely want to make it as widely available as possible...
So we halved that price to $150.
That's the equivalent of just $10 (£5 for my British colleagues) per hour of the course. Or put another way, about $1 per video.
However, because Watercolor Secrets is delivered online, there aren't the costs of packaging, handling and shipping that come with DVDs...
So the online version of Watercolor Secrets will cost just $87 (£45).
That gives you immediate access to all 100+ lessons and the bonus resources for a full year.
You do not risk a penny by ordering now. Why? Because you are covered by a rock-solid...
Remember, you won't find this level of instruction in regular DVDs or books. Not a complete system for watercolors that takes you through all the essential building blocks in a step-by-step manner.
As an artist, your hobby has probably already cost you a small fortune on numerous brushes, paper, paints and accessories. A proper coaching program will do more for your paintings than all of these. And unlike a fancy sable-hair brush, you can test Watercolor Secrets risk-free for 8 weeks. If you don't feel it is outstanding value for your investment, simply ask for your money back.
Best Regards,

P.S. Please remember the 8-week, 100% money back guarantee. There is absolutely no risk on your part. No reason is required and I will always honor a refund request.
