Watercolour

This fresh, colourful painting course is ideal for all aspiring watercolour artists: gain confidence with your brush, experiment through guided exercises and discover your own style. Tom’s simple yet inspiring approach can take any painter’s work to the next level, and can be applied to any subject.

We say: The ultimate practical guide to expressive watercolour painting, from the master of loose washes and vibrant atmosphere: popular artist and teacher, Tom Shepherd.

Tom began his artistic journey creating custom artwork on guitars using graffiti pens. However, it was his transition to a brush and more traditional media that truly opened the door to his world as an artist, and from that point on, there was no turning back.

Today, Tom paints a wide range of subjects, although he is continually drawn back to his earliest love of wildlife, and in particular, birds. His work is known for its loose, expressive, and carefree style, with a strong focus on light, atmosphere, and confident painterly brushwork.

Alongside his own painting, Tom is a highly regarded and much sought-after tutor. He teaches in-person through residential workshops, painting holidays, and even Art Safaris in Zambia. He also teaches online, where he shares his approach with students from all over the world through his School of Watercolour. Tom is an ambassador for Daniel Smith watercolour paints, Panart brushes, and Baohong paper.

Tom’s work is collected internationally, and he has been a highly commended finalist in the prestigious Wildlife Artist of the Year competition on several occasions. Alongside his painting, he supports conservation by contributing a portion of his teaching and artwork sales to UK-based projects.
