LET'S PAINT STORYBOOK DUCKS
Cute, quirky, and so completely addictive - you'll keep painting them long after the course is done!
FOR PAINTERS WHO LOVE
A LITTLE CHARM AND A LOT OF COLOUR
There's something about a white duck that just makes you smile.
Simple shapes, the most delightful postures, and a storybook quality that's almost impossible to resist.
Somewhat surprisingly... white ducks might be one of the most colourful subjects you'll ever paint.
Come and see what I mean.

Sketchbook Success
Let's get our ducks in a row 😉
We'll fill a whole sketchbook page with quick, charming duck sketches.
It's a low-pressure way to build confidence with these delightful little birds, and to allow your eye to see the shadows that give them shape and form.
This is a skill you'll be able to apply to all sorts of subjects!
No White Paint Required!
White ducks are surprisingly, delightfully colourful.
Let me show you how to find those hidden colours - and paint them - so your duck still reads as white but absolutely glows on the page.
Never shy away from painting white subjects in watercolour again!
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 duck paintings.
DUCKS IN WATERCOLOUR
Bursting with character and charm, it is no wonder these little birds have starred in storybooks for generations!
We'll begin in the sketchbook, getting our ducks in a row! 😉
A playful, low-pressure project that builds your drawing confidence and helps you capture those cheeky poses.
I'll show you how to see the shadows that give these little birds their form and volume so that you are ready to paint ducks that practically waddle off the page!
Next, a quick 30-minute painting where you'll discover the joy of salt textures and loose, expressive backgrounds.
Then we'll bring everything together in the main painting so that it's full of colour, glows and irresistible storybook charm.
With these skills you'll be ready to continue your own series using the curated references provided.
If you are ready to paint a subject simple enough to feel achievable but characterful enough to keep you hooked, this course is for you!

Frequently Asked Questions
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 you will have instant and ongoing access to the materials in your single purchased course.
If you purchase the membership you will have instant access to not only this course 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.
