Learn to paint pocket-sized woodland watercolor scenes in 15 half-hour lessons with best-selling author and trusted watercolor teacher Geoff Kersey.

Fast, fun results, with full-size templates!

Within this inspiring, practical book are full instructions for 15 small but perfectly-formed landscape paintings themed around trees and woodlands. The 30-minute paintings are all worked at postcard size – ideal for a 6 x 4in watercolor pad - and simple outline drawings are provided for those who are less confident at drawing.

  • The beginner-friendly projects are packed with hints and tips and structured step by step, making it easy to follow the instructions and achieve your own fantastic results!
  • Each of the 15 projects takes just 30 minutes, so are quick and easy to paint in an evening or in a spare afternoon.
  • No drawing is necessary – full-sized line drawings for each postcard artwork are provided at the back of the book.
