Learn to paint and improve your watercolour skills with Tom Shepherd
Whilst Tom loves painting a wide variety of subjects, especially if the light is doing something interesting, he is always drawn back to the place where his first two passions met; painting wildlife, in particular birds.
"The free flowing and immediate nature of watercolour seems to lend itself so well to capturing the fleeting moments of wildlife; along with their movement, character and colours"
Tom's work has become widely collected in the UK and more more recently, internationally.
He has been a highly commended finalist in the World renowned Wildlife Artist of the Year, on several occasions.
Tom has also become a highly regarded, and much sought after tutor. As well as running his own workshops, he travels all over the UK teaching and demonstration for Art Groups & Societies. He also leads painting holidays in beautiful rural France.

This week we’re slowing things down and breaking the watercolour process into clear, manageable stages.
This Lioness & Cub might look a little more complex, but we’ll keep it simple — focusing on strong shapes of light and shadow, building the painting through clear tonal groups at a calm, steady pace, and enjoying the natural flow and excitement of watercolour without rushing or overcomplicating.
We’ll also explore paint consistency, blending darks and details into dry washes, lifting pigment, and picking just a few key details to make the faces pop.
It’s all about slowing down, keeping a steady, manageable process, and letting the painting come to life step by step — while still having fun with it!
Great if you’re earlier on and want to push yourself and scale up a little — and plenty here for more experienced painters too.
Join me for a relaxed, rewarding session with a beautiful result at the end.
