And before you ask 😉, every painting in the course includes color matches between popular Inktense and Albrecht Dürer so you can switch brands with ease.
I asked my audience what challenges frustrate them the most, so I could create the most helpful mini coaching videos just for you.
Each one tackles the what (the problem), the why (what’s causing it), and most importantly, the how to fix it for good!
To ensure you get the most out of this masterclass and keep things fun and easy, I’m thrilled to offer:

I taught myself watercolor pencils after facing challenges in finding helpful resources, then shared my journey on YouTube, where I’ve built a community of 80,000 passionate artists.
By blending my skills in pencil drawing and watercolor, I developed a loose, realistic style, realistic and expressive, detailed but full of life.
Watercolor pencils are a hidden gem, and I’m on a mission to bring them the attention they’ve always deserved.
"I love Francoise's classes! Her teaching style is so clear and approachable. She is truly meant to be a teacher. I do not own watercolor pencils. I felt intimidated by them. I will now be purchasing a set to try Francoise's techniques. Thank you for all you do to promote art for the masses!"
"This was a great course.
It helped me to better understand my watercolour pencils and how to use them. Francoise did an amazing job of sharing her knowledge of watercolour pencils and taught us in a comprehensive and fun way.
I learned a lot from her!."

When I first started, I was genuinely frustrated by how little in-depth guidance existed for watercolor pencils. There's hardly anything out there, and most videos still barely scratch the surface.
That’s why I created Watercolor Pencil Mastery: a truly complete, structured course that covers everything I wish I had. It dives deep into both classic and original techniques, some of which, to this day, I haven’t seen taught anywhere else.
Every concept is clearly explained, with step-by-step and techniue-based projects that actually help you improve.
This isn’t just a collection of "tutorials", students walk away not just with finished art, but with the ability to troubleshoot and make confident, creative choices on their own.
You’ll paint 26 projects in total.
Project 1 is a complete demo showing how all the techniques build on each other. You can paint it right away, or skip to Project 2 if you're a beginner.
Project 2 teaches the essentials: how to color and activate your watercolor pencils cleanly.
Projects 3 to 11 focus on background techniques: soft gradients, textured skies, creative effects... Skills that many find tricky but essential.
Projects 12 to 20 help you use those techniques in full paintings, combining skills in fun and creative ways.
Projects 21 to 26 explore water-soluble pencils like Derwent Inktense, Graphitint, and Faber-Castell Graphite Aquarelle.
Sure! Although they're not "watercolor" pencils, Inktense pencils work just the same.
I'm aware that, along the Faber Castell Albrecht Dürer, this is a popular pick among water-soluble pencil enthusiasts.
That's why I've included Albrecht Dürer/ Inktense color equivalences to each painting supply list.
You can use one or the other, all techniques and paintings work with either one.
Start when you're ready, go at your speed, and I'm here if you need help.
