Each video comes with an accompanying pdf which shows you step by step how to paint the various elements.

I have taught painting for many years, both in adult education classes and also over the internet. Through my online courses I have taught thousands of people to paint since 2005. I have lead a number of painting holidays in the UK and overseas, and for a short time I was an instructor with Derwent Pencils. For five years I worked in ceramics, painting large tiled wall murals to commission.
I now teach art online, write articles for Leisure Painter magazine in the UK, and write a weekly blog which you can find on my website.
I am originally from England, but now live in southern Spain with my lovely wife Donna.
My interest in painting goes back to my childhood, and I have learned throughout my life the skills and ideas that have kept me painting and which I now hope to pass on to you. I love working in watercolors and gouache, and also in oils and acrylics. Each of these requires a different way of working, but I always aim to keep my paintings lively and fresh. I always want to convey something of the heart to anyone looking at my paintings.
The exercises and painting projects in my courses have all been thoroughly tested over time and proved to work well, and I am constantly amazed at the speed at which students improve. I hope you enjoy learning with me!
ps. check out my book on Amazon called: "En Plein Air - sketching and painting in the great outdoors" if you want more inspiration for painting.

Ich bin sehr begeistert von den Aquarellkursen von Andy Walker. Ich würde mich als Intermediate bezeichnen und seine Kurse kommen für mich genau zur richtigen Zeit um zu lernen etwas freier Aquarelle zu malen. Er gibt viele gute Tipps und ich finde es auch super, dass es jede Lektion zusätzlich als pdf gibt. Klare Empfehlung von mir!

I really enjoyed this series and learned a lot of great techniques. My only request to improve it is to be more specific about all the colors he uses . He shared some of the ways he blended colors but was not consistent. Other than that -- GREAT!

Delightful! Offers a good place to start for beginners, broad brush and details, various techniques and subjects for more advanced painters, with a range of weather, seasons and landscapes. Andy has a very relaxed painting and teaching style, communicates well, demonstrates all lessons with paint, paper and brushes with enthusiasm. Very inspiring, loved it!

Course in nice and quick. As I have some experience in watercolors so it was easy to follow. What is missing is little bit improvement on technical side of course. Some videos are louder and some very quite, that doesn't make course less educational just need little improvement. Would command course for sure.

I knew almost nothing about watercolors when I decided to take Andy Walker's courses. I'm so glad I chose his course- the instructions were simple and effective, and I was creating my own paintings within weeks of starting the course. I'm still in the process of learning and plan to sign up for more of Andy's courses- they are so much fun and now thanks to them I have a new hobby that is so much fun and so rewarding! It's something I think I'll do for the rest of my life.

I liked his easy style. I think on some of the landscape examples he could have talked or shown a little more in depth in regards to wet in wet. I wasn't really sure how much water on the paper and what angle for the board. Otherwise, great!

Very informative, easy to follow instructions throughout. Thank you very much!

I believe I am headed in the right direction here to do the sky and clouds. I usually try to put a lot of detail in and realize it isn't always necessary or possible with the sky and clouds. Familiar with removing paint with tissue, some of these things got away from me from years of NOT painting. Practice now.

Learned a lot and leveled up my painting skills. I now understand how to make a landscape scene look good on paper. The course covers trees, skies, clouds, and scenery.
