home to best selling watercolour & charcoal courses

Hello and welcome to my website. If you’re looking for help and advice on your painting or drawing skills then you’ve definitely come to the right place. This website is packed with information about classes, retreats, videos, blog posts and other free stuff. So whether you’re trying to loosen up your watercolours or you simply want to learn how to draw a family pet, you will find a course to help.

Over the last few years of teaching and with over 100,000 courses sold, I have had the opportunity to listen carefully to the techniques and skills that my students want to learn and have designed easy to follow, structured lessons to suit… both face to face and virtual. There is no magic involved in learning how to draw or paint. It is simply a process and with understanding, play and practice, I can take you on an incredible and fulfilling journey of discovery and creativity.

order my new book - out now- painting birds

If you'd like to learn how to paint birds using expressive watercolour techniques then my new book can be purchased through all good retailers including Amazon, WHSmith, Waterstones, Barnes and Noble & Blackwells.

Local musician Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin got a sneak preview of it at my studios and very kindly endorsed it with the following words.

"Inspirational and encouraging. With ease and eloquence Sarah moved me through a kaleidoscope of revelations. Introducing her style and technique punctuated with experiment and abandon. The detail, clarity and explanation make this a very exciting and special experience...encouraging and most impressive. "
