Hi there,
Brod here!
When I started in 2015, I knew absolutely nothing about painting. There weren't any instructors to guide me so I had to teach myself. (and ruined many paintings along the way)
Over a brief period, & lots of perseverance, it led to many fun opportunities I would have never dreamed of achieving:

Over a brief period, & lots of perseverance, it led to many fun opportunities I would have never dreamed of achieving:
2016
I met my hero, Charles Reid at a workshop in Provence, France
2017
First Place: Grand Prix Plein Air Master's Division
2018
My quirky pet portraits were featured on Social Media
2019
One of the Canadians at a prestigious exhibition in Fabriano, Italy
BEFORE LONG, I WAS DOING PUBLIC DEMONSTRATIONS
I had lots of fun painting different local scenes wherever I was called to demonstrate. I do a lot of preparation before each demo, from sketches, to color studies, to even a few versions of the same painting. This is so I can be more at ease and enjoy the experience interacting with people.

LIVE WORKSHOPS
Over the years, I have developed a method that is proven to accelerate progress of students, teaching them how to paint, with proper technique, rather than how to paint one-time activities.

"You will not be disappointed because you will have fun. Brod is a wonderful artist and instructor, he is well-prepared for the workshop/class. His explanations and demos and narration are very clear, steady camera and well-paced speed. The painting I am planning to do is a repeat of a previous piece but with this one, I want to apply what I learned from your workshops onto this one and see the difference. Thank you for being an awesome instructor!"

"Broderick is very organized. The steps/lessons to achieve learning a technique are well thought out. Lessons are progressive so skills are built up systematically. He can articulate the steps in a way that is easy to understand, loves painting from his heart and loves to teach without any reservations. I like that I am able to watch the videos multiple times and be able to pause as I am trying to paint the same thing since I find it hard to remember everything in one shot."

"Broderick's personality made the learning enjoyable. His classes are well thought out. It was not about how he is a good artist, but how we can accomplish a finished painting. It was simple and easy to follow. He didn't say he was going to teach us to paint but that he was going to teach us the techniques to help us achieve and overcome our fears of learning about watercolors. And "Yes" Watercolor Essentials is the WAY TO GO!!!"

TODAY, I HAVE THE PRIVELEGE TO SERVE AND TEACH
I am excited to share what I've learned over the years, to as many people, anywhere in the world who would want to learn the fastest way without the frustration and all the fun watercolor has to offer. I believe that we don't rise to our own expectations, but fall to the level of our training, and Color With Water is my way of equipping and empowering people with the right mindset and techniques, so they too can experience the magic behind the medium and eventually paint naturally and intuitively.
