Ready to Paint Postcards: Mountains: 15 Stunning Watercolour Paintings to Create in Just 30 Minutes

Lesley Linley is a master of washes and granulation and although the images in Ready to Paint Postcards: Mountains are simple, they also provide a lesson in simplification as well as the use of colour to define shape. You probably won't want to follow every exercise, but you might well marvel at the considerable technical expertise that has gone into them. As the days warm up, why not treat your creative self?  -- Henry Malt * The Artist - March Issue * I think this wild mountain painting (see in link below) perfectly reflects my chaotic, slightly weird day 😅 I barely slept last night, so my patience was basically nonexistent while waiting for the paint to dry. I kept trying to fix little “mistakes,” all while my mind was racing about the crazy stuff happening at my son’s school… and then rushing to finish everything so I could eat lunch before heading out again! That said, I have to give credit where it’s due — the book I’m using is genuinely excellent. Ready To Paint Postcards by Search Press has clear step-by-step guidance, super helpful instructions, and simple illustrations that make it easy to follow along. Honestly, it’s one of the best resources I’ve tried for learning to paint!
