Come on a Paint-ari
(For some STOMPendous Results!)
🐘Herd it through the grapevine that this is the watercolour class you'll never forget😉
Did you know that a herd of elephants is also called a memory?
That they are one of the few animals that can recognise themselves in a mirror?
That they...
🐘 grieve,
🐘 comfort each other, and
🐘show more empathy than most humans you'll meet?
No wonder painting them feels like a balm for the soul.
Go on.
Paint yourself a memory.

Sketchbook Success
Try this 2 step drawing process (using markers and pencils) and discover how to make drawing these majestic beasts simpler than you might have thought.
It builds enough confidence in your hand to make the painting feel much easier.
Give Them Weight!
We'll use the simple approach of glazing with complementary colour pairs to build shadow and dimension across those big, beautiful forms.
Then, you'll understand how to make anything in watercolour look rounded, solid, and alive.
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 elephant paintings.
ELEPHANTS IN WATERCOLOUR
There is something a bit special about elephants.
Magnificent and gentle, endlessly fascinating to observe.
And surprisingly meditative to paint.
We'll begin with...
Not just one elephant, but two, including an irresistible baby elephant - in our sketchbooks.
We will build confidence and get our hands warmed up.
By the time you finish, you'll be itching to paint these amazing animals ✍️
next, a QUICK project...
In only 30 minutes, we'll complete a satisfying painting that really shows off the light on the form, bringing the elephant to life on the page.
That's a trick you'll reach for in every watercolour you paint from here.⏰
Bring everything together...
...in the main painting.
One majestic elephant, front and centre, painted in a loose and lively wash with a simplified environment and some truly gorgeous colours.
He is the whole show - and he knows it. 👩🎨
that's not all!...
Real time step by step video, line drawings, references and a curated library to inspire your own series - everything you need is here.

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.
