Watercolor with Bob

Welcome to Watercolor with Bob — a gentle, encouraging space to learn watercolor painting through curiosity, play, and slow looking.

Bob is a lifelong painter and teacher with a warm style that blends practical instruction, deep observation, and a touch of whimsy. This free, full-length course will help you feel safe to experiment, paint lots of little studies, and see the world with “watercolor eyes.”

Whether you’re brand new or returning to art after many years, you’ll find step-by-step lessons, inspiring reflections, and a supportive student community.

No pressure. No perfection. Just paint, explore, and enjoy the process.

All videos are free and ad-free.*
