Hours of discovery and fun in putting together my very own Techniques Booklet. I think this will be very useful as I plan my work but also to get inspiring ideas. I learned so much doing this exercise! I finally understood a few watercolor concepts that had eluded me in the past few years I have been practicing. Many thanks to Michele for sharing and for being a wonderful teacher!

FAQ

  • Why is this free?!

    Michele simply wants more people to know about her work, and for you to get personal experience of her tuition. The more people that know, trust and recommend her the more people she can reach!

  • What's the catch?

    No catch, but if you like the tutorial we would love you to share Michele's YouTube channel with a friend, in an art group, or on social media.

  • What other support can I get?

    There is a dedicated Facebook group, just for students of Michele’s Thinkific courses, where you can compare results and get advice alongside other students. If you have any access or log in issues or trouble understanding how to navigate the site you can also find another copy of the PDF access guide pinned to the top of the Facebook group - it will make everything clear.

  • Can I share this guide?

    Feel free to share a link to the YouTube video with a friend so they can get it too, but please note that distribution, bulk printing or passing the tuition off as your own is forbidden and infringes copyright.

  • Will I get a ton of email spam now?

    Michele sends out an email newsletter approx once a week with new free and paid products, helpful advice and links to her latest YouTube videos. There are also pre-sale offers that only subscribers get when she launches new courses. We would love you to stay subscribed, but if you don't like the newsletter just scroll to the bottom of it and click 'unsubscribe' you will immediately be removed from the mailing list.

  • What materials will I need to buy?

    If you already have paper, paint and brushes you may not need to buy anything. This tutorial is designed to be as flexible as possible, uses many household items and does not insist you have exact colors and brands. In the downloadable PDF there's tons more advice and alternatives to tools and items used. This is only a starting point, many more techniques exist and you can add your own to the booklet over time. You can just skip techniques you don't like or don't want to do, art should be fun!
