  • Flamingos
  • Owls
  • Macaw parrots
  • Red Cardinals
  • Toucans

If youre a complete beginner, simply follow the projects in order to learn how to handle watercolour in achievable, rewarding steps. You will build essential skills while producing impressive results right from the start. Meanwhile, if youre a confident hobby artist, you can dip in and out wherever you wish.

About Tom Shepherd

Tom Shepherd started his art career by creating custom artwork on guitars using graffiti pens. Making a move towards a brush and more traditional mediums opened up a whole new world to him, and he hasnt looked back since.Tom loves painting a wide variety of subjects, but is always drawn back to the place where his first two passions met; painting wildlife, in particular birds.

Tom's work has become widely collected across the world. He has been a highly commended finalist in the world-renowned Wildlife Artist of the Year on several occasions. Where possible he likes to combine his artwork with conservation efforts close to his heart. As well as involvement with various group exhibitions geared towards raising funds for wildlife and conservation; he also contributes a portion of sales each year to UK based Organisations such as WWT (Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust), raising many thousands of pounds for wildlife.

Tom is also 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.

Tom co-hosts the podcast Ask an Artist, and runs successful remote painting classes through his School of Watercolour (schoolofwatercolour.co.uk)
