Synopsis

Instead of filling in outlines, this book begins with 70 vibrant, expressive watercolour paintings of dream-like gardens and asks you to add the lines. Each artwork offers shapes and colour to respond to, whether you choose to doodle, embellish, layer plants, add flowers and foliage, or take the image in a completely new direction.

No drawing experience is required and there are no rules about staying within boundaries; the emphasis is on exploring creativity and following your imagination. The uncoated 140gsm paper is described as sturdy, designed to let you work freely without risk of bleed-through, and you can experiment with different tools such as black or gold pens, markers or coloured pencils. Suitable for complete beginners and anyone looking for a mindful, quick-to-start craft activity.
