Watercolour Goldfish for Beginners Tutorial

Get ready for a splash into watercolour with Louise De Masi's 'Goldfish for Beginners' tutorial. Specifically designed for newcomers, this step-by-step guide walks you through painting the same goldfish three times, each time adding more complexity and new techniques.

What You’ll Learn:
  • Wet on Wet: Blend and layer colours on wet paper for soft, flowing transitions.
  • Wet on Dry: Practise controlled brushstrokes for crisp detail.
  • Charging: Infuse your washes with vibrant, dynamic colour.
  • Colour Mixing: Build confidence with mixing a range of hues.
  • Blending on Wet Paper: Learn to create seamless blends and natural shifts in tone.
Artist’s Insight:
Repetition is key. By painting the goldfish three times, Louise shows how practice builds control, confidence, and creativity. Each version refines your technique while encouraging experimentation. This tutorial is about progress over perfection, reminding you that every brushstroke brings growth.

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!”
