Discover an inspiring, beginner-friendly collection of 50 sweet projects to paint in watercolour, from food and flowers to animals, in just four easy stages each.

Containing a handy guidebook full of essential watercolour techniques, and 50 practical cards, this card deck is suitable for complete beginners and up; it's an exciting source of new ideas, a great way to practise your skills, plus it contains full-size outlines so you can get started painting right away.

The front of each card tells you the project’s skill level, the mixes you’ll need, and shows you step by step how to create your painting, starting from a template and building up the layers of watercolour paint to culminate in the finished painting on the reverse of the card. The outlines are full-size so you can trace them off onto watercolour paper and get started straight away.
Each project can be completed in just four simple steps each, using a small selection of colours and a handful of tried-and-tested watercolour techniques.
The 50 projects are themed, so you can choose from flowers and plants, food and drink, insects and animals, and many more.
Portable and practical: at 140 x 85mm, the cards are the perfect size for propping up in a small studio or workspace as you paint.

Maybe you want to create a hand-painted birthday card or a piece of artwork to frame and hang on the wall; embellish your journals and planners; or learn the relaxing art of painting with watercolours? Whatever your motivation, with 50 projects to choose from you’ll find something to inspire you.
