Discover the happiness benefits of putting brush to paper with a guide that puts judgment aside and “encourages simple enjoyment of painting” (Library Journal). Meditative, peaceful, and calming, watercolour painting offers a sense of control and self-worth to everyone, with no judgment or goal beyond the joy of painting itself. This book shows you how to calm and enhance your outlook through the movement of brush on paper. Master artist Jean Haines leads you through the journey, putting the emphasis on the joy of play rather than on pressure to perform or produce—and showing you how to wipe away your worries with the soothing, gentle strokes of watercolour paint. “Starting from the premise that everyone can paint, Haines frees readers of the goals and expectations of end results, and encourages simple enjoyment of painting. Open-ended, detailed exercises guide readers through experimenting with paint to gain a sense of control; to relieve stress; to escape; or to be in a better mood. The emotional and psychological properties of color are discussed as are obstacles to creativity and happiness. . . . [a] unique blend of self-care and expression.” —Library Journal

Drawing Calm teaches artists and non-artists how to find an oasis of calm every day by using the work of master painters to inspire creativity. Maybe it's the colors, or the eye-widening vistas, or maybe it's just the idea that harmony can exist on a square of canvas, but there is something in art that can calm and inspire at the same time. In Drawing Calm, artist Susan Evenson, shows readers how to do the same. It's a book for everyone—non-artists as well as those with plenty of experience in a studio. Using restful, but dynamic works of art as a starting point, Susan Evenson teaches how to capture the light and peace of the master painting. Making use of "soft" techniques such as torn-paper collage, blended pastels, and wet-on-wet watercolor, this workshop encourages stress-free creativity. After you learn how to set up your work space and what materials to gather, choose your soundtrack and get started with some warm-up exercises. Then, unwind with projects grouped by theme: Delight Quiet Warmth Harmony Calm Light Rhythm Put on the music that makes you happy and choose the colors that take you there too!

Learn Wildlife Painting with Techniques from Masters With decades of experience at Chicago's renowned Field Museum, artist-in- residence Peggy Macnamara and scientific illustrator Marlene Hill Donnelly share tips on all aspects of painting wildlife in luminous watercolor. Painting Wildlife in Watercolor includes everything you'll need to know to from basics to finishing touches of rendering vibrant lifelike animals, birds and reptiles. Well-known for her "no fear" approach which bypasses traditional composition methods, Peggy Macnamara employs a technique of gradually applying color to develop rich subtle tones. Balancing this is Marlene Donnelly's clear and detailed instruction on drawing and painting techniques-the perfect complement to the "no fear" approach. The authors explore subject matter, color theory, design, light and shadow, and present several illustrative demonstrations. Macnamara describes her process as a form of meditation and encourages the student to compose their image using many light layers. She says of her technique, "It automatically builds depth in the liquid expression of the eyes as well as in the rich texture of fur and feathers." Whether rendering birds, mammals, or reptiles, these master artists will guide you as you create your own interpretation, step by step, as they share their years of experience. This innovative approach allows artists at all levels of experience to imbue their work with a fresh and subtle beauty. This book is also available from Echo Point Books in hardcover (ISBN 1635619475).
