Ready to Paint in 30 Minutes

These guides to painting watercolour is ideal if you want to learn to paint but are short on time. Broken down into 33 to 35 quick and easy paintings that take no more than 30 minutes to complete, these basic courses will teach you all the skills you need to painting. The 30-minute paintings are all worked at postcard size ideal for a 6 x 4in (A6) watercolour pad, and tracings are included for those with limited drawing skills. Each small painting is a work of art in its own right, and can be stored in your portfolio for reference later, or framed and hung on the wall to impress your friends. The book is broken down into chapters that focus, respectively, on essential watercolour techniques including colour mixing and glazing. The final section of the book contains three complete paintings that demonstrate how to combine all the techniques and elements of painting, as gleaned from the preceding chapters. These paintings, too, are accompanied by actual-size tracings.
