People often say they’ve learned more from Dermot Cavanagh’s courses in a few days than from years attending other classes.

Dermot Cavanagh is the TV artist & tutor behind the BBC TV series ‘Awash with Colour’. During 74 episodes he taught a host of international celebrities to paint the landscape. Now you can join him and let him teach and inspire you at his 3-Day watercolour courses in the comfort and tranquillity of his own home studio amidst the rolling hills of the county Tyrone countryside, and at other spectacular locations along Ireland’s famous ‘Wild Atlantic Way’ in county Donegal. 

Dermot can bring out the artist in anyone even beginners. Let him build your confidence, remove the mystery around painting and teach you all the techniques needed for successful watercolour painting. Places are limited to allow for lots of Dermot’s individual instruction and hands-on tuition.

All art materials are provided for use during these 3-day courses and painting sessions are from 10:00am to 4:30pm daily. Lunch is also available each day at the venue.
One previous painting guest said, “Simply Amazing! I’ve never known a tutor to cover so much ground, explain it so simply and be so well prepared; It was a real joy”.

Colleen McGurgan from Tyrone said, “The 3 day course in watercolours was very informative and thoroughly enjoyable. The course was very well organised and the pace of learning was really appropriate. I really liked the practical artwork broken up into technical tutorials and painting hacks. Dermot, your story telling really complimented the activities”.

Marian Dorian from Tyrone said, “An amazing 3 days. I learned so much. Great company and so relaxed, enjoyed every moment way beyond my expectations. Thank you so much Dermot, I will be back”.

Reviews & Feedback from Dermot's Guests

Read what previous guests have to say about Dermots in-person and online painting courses ans painting holidays.

Incredibly valuable for giving a beginner great instruction and confidence. Learnt so many techniques and valuable info about mixing and composition. Fully intend to do a follow-on course. I would recommend the course to anyone.

My very first art lesson and I thoroughly enjoyed it and learnt such a lot. All I need now is practise, practice, practice And probably another course in a month or so. Well done Dermot and Thank you for your patience.

The 3 day course on watercolours was very informative and thoroughly enjoyable. The course was very well organised and the pace of learning was really appropriate. I really liked the practical art work broken up into technical tutorials and painting hacks. Dermot, your story telling really complimented the activities.

Very impressed with the amount of knowledge imparted by Dermot over the 3 days. Very enjoyable and relaxed way of teaching. Dermot’s many stories broke up the more intense periods of learning.
