ONLINE COURSES BY DOLORES PHELPS WATERCOLOURS
Coming soon! 3 new Wild Watercolour courses:
Wild Forests, Wild Landscape and Colour Magic
Learn watercolour the wild way! I'm Dolores Phelps, an experienced painter in watercolours and teacher, and you will I hope, be familiar with my work on Instagram @doloresphelpswatercolours.
I developed a 6 week Watercolour Challenge that demonstrated the simple but effective principles that revolutionised my students' watercolour practice. I'm currently building three new courses and will announce news about them as soon as they are ready. See below for an overview!
I am still editing my new content and hope to have some news by early April 2025.

Wild Landscape course
It’s perfectly possible to paint joyfully and expressively, and create beautiful effects without the fear of messing it up or spoiling it. In my two week Wild Landscape course, I will demonstrate all my signature techniques and materials. You will explore many aspects of watermedia, not just watercolour - gouache, ink, texturising additives, watersoluble crayons and even pastels with an emphasis on abstraction and intuition.
Wild Forests course
All my tree painting techniques collected into one intensive three week course. Week One covers the basic techniques of using ink, watercolour and gouache to express the light through the trees, the profusion of shapes and textures that make up the forest. Weeks two and three are divided up into the four seasons of the year. You will paint bluebell woods in Spring, tree reflections on water in Summer, autumn colours and snowy scenes.
Colour Magic course
This two week course will introduce you to a world of shifting, changing colour. I have long been interested in pigments that shift and fringe their hue as they are diluted and dried, and when a friend introduced me to the Rockwell 'self evolving' range I was completely obsessed! I will let you into my secret colour recipes and demonstrate my favourite Rockwell combinations, with lots of info and advice about choosing and using pigments. It really is magic!
