The Masterclass

Comprehensive Paint Making Masterclass

This online course contains an extensive written resource for you to continually reference back to during your making process and beyond, as well as still images and accompanying video demonstrations for the more visual learners.

  • It shares a lot of my own personal experience and genius, including some of the lessons I’ve learnt through the past two years of Ruco Paints and how I built it into a successful small business which supports my growing family.

    I share all my knowledge of the entire process from tools and crafting your own watercolour binder, through production and troubleshooting, to creating recipes and packaging/storing your finished colours. There are additional resources about finding inspiration, sharing online and my own marketing tips based on my own growing profile.
