Learn to paint and improve your watercolour skills with Tom Shepherd

Whilst Tom loves painting a wide variety of subjects, especially if the light is doing something interesting, he is always drawn back to the place where his first two passions met; painting wildlife, in particular birds.
 
"The free flowing and immediate nature of watercolour seems to lend itself so well to capturing the fleeting moments of wildlife; along with their movement, character and colours"

Tom's work has become widely collected in the UK and more more recently, internationally. 
He has been a highly commended finalist in the World renowned Wildlife Artist of the Year, on several occasions.

Tom has also become a highly regarded, and much sought after tutor. As well as running his own workshops, he travels all over the UK teaching and demonstration for Art Groups & Societies.  He also leads painting holidays in beautiful rural France.

The key to creating an exciting landscape is a good, solid composition. Ok, it might not sound like the most thrilling part - but honestly, it’s the foundation that everything else is built on. And it’s what gives us the freedom to play and have fun with watercolour! Which is what it’s all about.

The best thing? Composition doesn’t have to be complicated. In fact, it’s often better when it’s not. It just takes a few pointers and some simple considerations when planning a painting; with a simple, yet considered composition absolutely setting us up for the best chance of results!

The second thing to think about - built right into a strong composition - is: what’s the light doing? And where are my points of interest? 

Ok, again, this is the more logical side of painting, but these little considerations go a long way.

Join me in planning and painting a scene for maximum impact - light, atmosphere, and mood - all brought to life with a composition that really makes a painting sing! There’s loads packed into this one, and it can be applied to any subject, any approach.
