Meet Your New Instructor, Barbara Tapp!
“I was born an artist with a natural ability to draw in perspective, inherited from my dad and his ancestors. A daydreamer and an observer with an insatiable curiosity about everything.”
— Barbara Tapp, award-winning watercolor artist
Originally from Sydney, Australia, Barbara is passionate about drawing. For 39 years she has worked as a Bay Area architectural illustrator, working freehand and honing her craft. In this time, she has illustrated 14 travel books, worked as an artist for scientists at a zoo, and also applied these skills in the real estate market.
Today, Barbara is primarily a plein air watercolor painter. She loves the transparency of watercolor, as it gives her endless possibilities for achieving depth and form.
“It’s a gentle paint force that flows off the brush. With each expressive stroke or wash, combined with the gravity, paper absorbency, fluidity, and pigment granulation, you’ll get an explosive medium that constantly surprises me. Plus, I enjoy mixing my own colors!”
Barbara continues to paint daily and competes regularly throughout the year in exhibitions and plein air events. She’s a proud Signature Member of California Plein Air Painters and a juried member of Watercolor West.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I’ve always been rather intimidated by watercolor, but with Barbara’s approach and her quick confidence, no more. Her enthusiasm is contagious, and she is simply brilliant!”
— Barbara C.

A Brilliant Instructor You’ll Love to Love
Barbara loves to use her hands while explaining concepts and working her brush! She moves her hands to “feel” the shadows. She wiggles her fingers to indicate dappled light, curving her hand into a boat shape and “dancing” her brush across the paper.
For Barbara, the use of hand movements is a way to feel the movement of what she’s painting, creating a deeper connection with it.
Even Barbara admits that she can get fatigued and uninterested as she paints at times. If you’ve felt like this before, you’ll love some of the ways she overcomes this issue.
As you watch her video, you’ll soon realize that Barbara is a great teacher, easy to understand, and loves chatting about her career and her art as she paints.

Though you can observe the techniques of any artist instantly by watching them demonstrate and by watching the videos repeatedly, please know that, though many artists offer insights that can help people overcome a lot of learning time, every artist learns at their own speed based on their own level of understanding. Painting and drawing bring great joy, though the joy may come from practicing various techniques over and over until you master them. We do not wish to indicate that you, or anyone, can skip the joy of practice and the challenges of getting better. Painting is a lifetime endeavor, and getting good does not typically happen rapidly, or instantly. Your results may vary. And please know that if at any time within 30 days you feel this video has not lived up to your expectations or its promise, we will happily refund your money.
