You will watch this video again and again as there is so much to learn. Once you master Robbie’s techniques you can apply them to any watercolour painting, in particular to flower and garden paintings. I think this DVD is brilliant. Robbie is a lovely lady, who shares her techniques and secrets with the viewer – so don’t miss out on this.
I have been trying to master the art of watercolour painting for some years now – it’s a medium I love. However, like many who try it, I found watercolour a little fickle, a hit and miss medium, sometimes brilliant, sometimes so frustrating. Watching Robbie was a revelation – she actually knows how to control the medium and she’s worth her weight in gold. She is a superb instructor and takes you through the process like the water and colour flowing on her paper. It looks so easy and it is in some ways. Far easier than other methods I have tried, but it still takes practice – to know when that paper has just the right moisture on it to control the colour. I improved my watercolour technique one hundred per cent, just in my first attempt of doing it this way. So buy this innovative DVD, relax and learn to paint beautiful watercolours the Robbie Laird way. It’s great for all skill levels.
