ARTIST INSIGHTS - TOM SHEPHERD

"Watercolour is where I really
found my artistic voice."

Tom Shepherd is a UK-based watercolour painter, teacher, and the co-presenter of the Ask an Artist podcast. In this Artist Insights film, Tom demonstrates his watercolour painting process, explaining his set up, materials, and his approach to colour as he paints. Tom also reflects on the importance of discovering painting as you work, and how articulating ideas through his teaching practice gives him a deeper understanding of his own painting practice.
