CATS IN WATERCOLOUR:
Because some paintings just need a little cattitude
FOR PAINTERS WHO LOVE A DASH OF FELINE CHARM
No perfect likeness required! Bring your painting to life with a furry scene-stealer.
In this course, we’ll skip the pressure of fussy pet portraits and instead paint cats as the lively, loveable focal point in gorgeous scenes - from a sun-drenched garden to a breezy harbour.
Through a confidence-building sketchbook project, loose and expressive watercolour techniques, and vibrant scene compositions, you’ll learn how to capture the spirit of a cat, out and about, enjoying life.
By the end, you’ll feel more confident sketching and painting animals, more comfortable letting go of unnecessary detail, and ready to let your watercolour purr with character.
If you’ve dabbled a little in watercolour and want to loosen up, and paint felines without the fuss, this course is for you!

Sketchbook Success
Think drawing cats is tricky?
My easy 3-step method will change your mind.
We’ll fill a whole sketchbook page with quick, colourful feline sketches - a low-pressure way to build confidence with animal drawing.
And yes, you can use this method to draw any other animal too.
Purrfect
Fur
Learn how to :
- use watercolour’s natural properties to suggest fur texture
- paint white fur without it looking flat, and
- add markings that not only describe the cat's coat but also help shape its form.
You’ll see how to keep things loose and expressive so your cats feel alive without fussing over every whisker.
Paint a Whole Series
We'll paint together, step by step to create two different paintings. Aside from the video you'll also have the line drawings and references so that you are guided all the way.
But there is no need to stop there!
Armed with these new techniques AND a library of carefully selected reference images, you'll be itching to create a whole series of your own cat paintings.
Cats in Watercolour
Including a cat in your painting doesn’t have to be intimidating - and it doesn’t have to be exactly like the cat you see in your reference.
This course starts with a relaxed sketchbook project, where you’ll learn my simple 3-step method for drawing cats and create a playful, colourful page you’ll love.
Then, we’ll paint together step-by-step, exploring loose techniques, vibrant colours, and easy ways to paint fur and markings so your cats feel full of life and personality.
By the end, you’ll have two beautiful finished paintings and the confidence, skills, and reference library to keep creating your own purr-fectly charming cat scenes.

FAQs
What supplies do I need?
I always recommend that you use what you already have. There is no need to use exactly the same supplies or colours as I am using.
I always include details of exactly what I use in each lesson but the broad basics include:
- 300gsm cold pressed watercolour paper either loose sheets, pads or sketchbooks - whatever you like best or have to hand
- a large round watercolour brush, and possibly a rigger (although even that is very much optional)
- watercolour paints
- a sketchbook or just loose sheets of copier paper and a pencil for sketching
How long do I have access to the course materials?
If you purchase the Standalone Edition of Cats in Watercolour you will have instant and ongoing access to the materials.
If you purchase the membership you will have instant access to not only the Cats in Watercolour class but also to the entire growing library of Happy Painters Hub courses. Your access to all of these courses will continue for as long as you choose to pay your low monthly membership subscription.
How does the membership pricing work?
If you subscribe to the membership, you will automatically be charged on a monthly basis. The membership fee is very low at the moment because the Hub is still relatively new. Over time, more and more content will be added so it is likely that the fee will increase in future enrolment periods.
However, when the subscription fee increases, existing members will continue to pay the low fee they originally signed up for.
That means you never have to worry about the subscription fee increasing for as long as you are a continuing member.
Don’t worry - that doesn’t mean you are stuck with me forever, cancelling or changing your billing details is easy. You can do it all yourself!
How would I cancel the membership?
Just click on Your Account from your student dashboard and you can easily edit your credit card details or cancel your subscription with a couple of clicks.
