WHO AM I?
Hey there! Broderick here and I paint in watercolor professionally,
from simple character designs, to realism, to fun art, even fine art pieces hanging in Museums in Europe.
I’ve been a featured artist for a major art supply chain
Social media loves my quirky watercolor pet portraits
Placed first in live watercolor painting competitions
I've led live watercolor painting workshops for people who have never picked up a brush before
WHY LEARN FROM ME?
When I started, I knew absolutely nothing about painting or watercolor.
I ruined many watercolor paintings and didn’t know how to do them differently.
I experienced many happy accidents but didn’t know how to recreate them successfully.
I persevered and took a handful of workshops and,
over a brief period, I developed a certain fluency in “reading” watercolor.
I’m excited to help you learn to create watercolor paintings you could be proud of!
WHO IS THIS FOR?
Whether you've never picked up a brush before, or if you’re hoping to understand the medium better,
you'll want to finally learn watercolor the way it's meant to be used.
