Thought You Were Too Old, Too Rubbish, or Too Late to Paint? Think Again…
No talent? Perfect. No clue what brush to buy? Even better. No idea where to start? Now we’re talking. Because all you need is a brush, a brew, and someone brave (or barmy) enough to believe in you...

Dear You,
Not “You, the aspiring artist.” Not “You, the creative soul.”
Just… you.
Because if you’re anything like I was, you’ve had a sneaking suspicion for a while now that you need something different.
Something quiet. Something peaceful. Something yours.
My name’s Anthony Roebuck, and for most of my professional life, I was an architect.
Blueprints. Building codes. Bureaucracy. I used to design places for other people to live their lives, while slowly forgetting to live mine.
The stress? Manageable. The deadlines? Endless. The feeling that I was slowly becoming a beige filing cabinet with legs? Unshakable.
Until one rainy afternoon, in a stroke of madness (or clarity), I walked past an art shop in Paris and bought the first set of watercolors I could find. Eight colors. One brush. Absolutely no plan.
The first thing I painted looked like a tragic lasagna. But that hour - just me, the brush, the puddles - was the calmest I’d felt in years.
It wasn’t about being good. It was about feeling free.
Over time, I traded steel beams for soft washes.
Replaced scale models with wonky lemons.
To my surprise, I became not just someone who painted but someone who helped others remember they could, too.
That’s why I created this...
A watercolor course for people who think they missed the boat.
People who say, “I’m not creative.”
People who are burned out, boxed in, and quietly desperate for something that brings joy without strings attached.
This is not a course about becoming an artist.
It’s about remembering that you’re a person who gets to enjoy your life.
We’ll start with zero expectations.
No rules.
No “talent” required.
Just cups of tea, a bit of paper, and a whole lot of encouragement.
Dear You, you’ll learn what I call the Three Pillars of Watercolor: water control, tonal value, and simplification.
(Don’t worry - they sound far fancier than they are.)
You’ll paint tomatoes. Flowers. Bits of fruit that actually look edible.
And yes you’ll mess up. That’s part of the plan.
But you’ll also laugh. And relax. And surprise yourself. Often.
So if you’re here thinking:
“I’ve never drawn anything in my life…”
“I’m too old to start painting…”
“Everything I make looks like it’s been sneezed on…”
Perfect. You’re my kind of student.
We’ll trace if we have to.
We’ll splash with abandon.
And by the end, you’ll have not just paintings but pride.
And for the practical among us, I’ve even listed all the usual bits.
Introducing...
The Watercolor "Beginners" Masterclass!
“What if you could gain total control, achieve lasting progress, and paint with confidence and joy?”
I’ve been painting and teaching watercolors over the past 10 years. In this time I discovered the key principles that make all the difference!
The truth is… The reason you’re not making progress with your watercolors isn’t because you lack talent or don’t have the right tools.
It’s because you haven’t learned about the “3 Pillars of Watercolor”.
The 3 Pillars of Watercolor:
I’ve identified these 3 things as vital to help my students make progress and truly enjoy the painting process.
But what are these “3 Pillars of Watercolor?”
Let me explain…
Without going into too much detail, here’s how each pillar significantly affects your painting skills:
The Water CYCLE
This is about understanding how much water to use and how it interacts with your paint and paper. This is one of the biggest struggles any watercolor artist faces!
Tonal Values
This refers to the lightness or darkness of colors and shapes. Mastering & using tonal values correctly is essential to avoid your paintings looking flat and unrealistic.
Abstraction & Simplification
This means learning to simplify your subject into basic shapes and forms. This makes your paintings so much easier to manage!
These concepts are just A SMALL PART of the fundamentals I teach in my ‘Watercolor Beginners Masterclass’
What you'll get:
✅ Step-by-step lessons that build from “Where do I put my brush?” to “Oh my goodness, I painted that.”
✅ Real projects. Real results. (And yes, you’ll want to show them off.)
✅ Lifetime access. No rush. Come back whenever you like - even if you’ve been distracted by, say, cake or grandchildren.
✅ Personal Q&A with me. Ask me anything - no bots, no silence.
✅ Templates so you don’t have to draw. (Because we’re painters, not martyrs.)
✅ A course that treats you like a human being, not a YouTube algorithm.
Wondering If It’ll Actually Help?
Let’s Look at Some Pain Points:
Here are the five things most of my students say before they start, followed by what they say afterwards.
The Truth (Thanks to the Masterclass)
❌ “I’ve never painted before.”
✅ Brilliant. That means no bad habits to unlearn. We start from zero like the first pancake of creativity.
❌ “I’m too old to learn something new.”
✅ Most of my students are 45+. Some are in their 70s. You’re not late. You’re just right.
❌ “I always mess up my paintings.”
✅ That’s not failure. That’s water control soon to be your new superpower.
❌ “Art is intimidating.”
✅ Not this kind. This is giggles-and-glory art. Relaxed, playful, and proudly imperfect.
❌ “I’ve tried YouTube and gave up.”
✅ Because YouTube is a jungle. This is a garden path with biscuits.

❝
"You have a great way of explaining techniques. The principles were presented in such a way that I never felt lost or bored. The pace of learning was perfect and kept me excited to learn the next skill "
Lorraine Mayne // USA
" You are an incredible teacher, Anthony! Though I’ve been watercolor painting for a few years, I was self-taught and continue to make mistakes when I feel I should “know better” by now. "You have" helped me exponentially toward understanding why I’m making the same mistakes years later.
Thank you! "
Amy Davis // USA
"You are a true teacher! I tell you this all the time. I’m always amazed how you break steps apart to make them visual and understandable. Also it encourages the new artist to practice your tips when starting a painting.
Thank you!"

My method for mixing colors in this course is based on watercolor paints. But the principles also translate to other paint mediums. The only difference will be how to mix light & dark valued mixtures - in watercolors, white comes from the paper and depends on the dilution of paint.
In other mediums you add white or black.
I provide a list of paint recommendations to get the best results from your color mixing. But you don't need to use the exact same colors or brand. I'll give you guidance on how to find equivalent hues depending on the brand of paint, and closely equivalent pigments if you don't have the exact same colors.
Both beginners and experienced artists can gain advanced color mixing skills using this course.
