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
