Watercolour "Brush in Jar" Tutorial

In this 2-part tutorial, we'll capture the mesmerising dance of paint swirling in water, a sight familiar to any artist's studio.

What You’ll Learn:
  • Work with a limited palette of three colours plus opaque white to create a range of tones and shades.
  • Apply masking fluid effectively to maintain the bright highlights on the jar.
  • Use wet-on-wet techniques to achieve soft, diffused effects.
  • Execute the wet-on-dry technique for more defined details and contrasts.
Artist’s Insight:
Louise shares her process of balancing control and spontaneity in this unusual subject. By limiting the palette to just three colours plus opaque white, she demonstrates how simplicity can create harmony. The use of masking fluid preserves the brightest highlights on the glass jar, while the interplay of wet-on-wet and wet-on-dry brings both softness and structure to the swirling paint.

Dive into Watercolours

No Traffic, No Timetable, No Worries

Online courses are not just convenient, they're better. In our online classes, you get to pause, rewind, and revisit any part of the lesson you want. Missed a stroke? No dramas! Just go back and watch it again. Plus, all our classes are filmed in real-time and fully voiced over. That means you'll catch every stroke, every detail, and every step you need to nail that painting. It's like having a personal tutor on your screen, only better, because you're in total control. So what are you waiting for? Grab a brush, hit 'play', and let's get painting!

Social proof: testimonials

“I am taking an in person class and I learned more here today [in this YouTube video] than I have in 6 weeks of the class… Signing up based on this video!”

Irene

“You are an outstanding teacher and are always so explicit with your instructions that you make it almost impossible for us to fail when following your tutorials. You have a wealth of information that you are always so happy to share with us. I have not as yet found another teacher who teaches as well as you and I have certainly watched thousands of You Tube tutorials. You are the best and deserve all the recognition you get!”

Marion

“Just finished watching this tutorial (I always watch them before starting to paint them) and I wanted to say it's so helpful to have the reference photo showing while you paint. I find myself thinking what I would do next and where I would add color and then when you do it too I know I'm learning -- even before I put paint to paper. Thank you for your explanations and thorough descriptions of what you are doing. You are the best teacher!”
