Paint Flamingos 🦩 with Confidence & Lots of Colour!
Discover colour secrets and easy watercolour techniques as we paint one of nature’s most eye-catching subjects!
Flamingos are full of personality, and in this course, we explore how to capture their charm with expressive brushwork and thoughtful colour choices.
We’ll look at two different colour schemes to see how mood and meaning shift with each palette—and you’ll gain tools to use this insight in your own paintings, no matter the subject.
If you’ve dabbled a little in watercolour and want to loosen up, explore new techniques, and bring more joy to your painting, this course is for you!

Sketchbook Success
Flamingos are such dramatic birds that strike fascinating poses which can sometimes make them feel daunting to sketch and paint.
Fear not!
This sketchbook project will give you an easy way to break down any seemingly complex subject so that drawing and painting it is a breeze.
(I used pastels because they are quite fun but you can use whatever you have!)
Explore 2 Different Colour Schemes
Colour is one of the most enticing reasons to paint these birds.
But what colour schemes will show them off best?
We will explore not only a harmonious analogous scheme, but also experiment with an striking complementary contrasting scheme.
That means you'll understand how to use these approaches effectively for any other subject you care to paint.
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 flamingo paintings.

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 Flamingos 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 Flamingos 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?
Enrolment in the membership is by invitation only (and occasionally opens a few times in the year).
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 quite 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.
