For more information and guidance on the materials I use or recommend for realistic watercolour why not join up for a free membership to my online school and have a go?  

My blog is also a great place for information, in particular there is a really good post for anyone who is new to watercolours. I also have a Pinterest board dedicated to watercolour painting equipment.  And in addition on my YouTube channel you will see me using various materials to create my wildlife paintings. 

Finally I hope this little insight into my studio has encouraged you to give this fantastic medium a try.  Or maybe you are simply looking for some things to add to your wish list or buy for a friend.  Whatever your reason for reading this far, I hope you have found this page helpful!

Any questions or queries regarding the materials, please feel free to drop me an email. Paul 🙂
