HEY, I'M EMMA
Like you, I'm obsessed with animals and watercolour... but it took me YEARS to figure out how to paint them realistically on my own. There were countless times my confidence was knocked and I wanted to throw in the towel and stick to something easier... like rocket science.
But I pushed through the self-doubt and many "ugly" stages, developed a system to speed up the learning process, and now I've bundled up those hundreds of hours of figuring out things the hard way into the Paint Wild membership, so that you can paint realistic watercolour animals in a matter of HOURS... not years.
My approach to watercolour is what sets Paint Wild apart: a simple set of supplies, consistency to skyrocket your skills, and dangerous amounts of fun. I'll show you how to mix any colour from the primaries, provide regular approachable tutorials to keep you inspired and learning, and take absolutely nothing except your growth seriously. Go on, take a closer look below!
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:
FROM THE GROUND UP
THE FUN-DAMENTALS
Never picked up a brush before? Perfect! The fundamentals section covers all the 'must-knows' of watercolour, and sets you up for success in Paint Wild:
- Supplies + how to use them
- Colour theory + mixing
- Techniques + brush control
After this stage, you'll be ready to tackle your first wildlife tutorial!
