Description
The Ready to Paint series provides six tracings for readers to pull out and transfer on to watercolour paper. There is one for each of the F

five step-by-step demonstrations, plus a bonus tracing of the inspirational painting in the Introduction section. Geoff Kersey is an expert
draughtsman and his skilful drawings of famous New York scenes provide the basis for five detailed and realistic paintings. The clear step- O
by-step photographs explain the painting process in great depth and make it easy for readers to reproduce all of the projects, which

Reviews A

Tired of landscapes, seascapes and still life? Want to paint pictures of a famous city? Here is another twist on the original concept where T
you can get to grips with the painting part without having to worry about your lack of drawing prowess. There are lots of books on
painting the three types of subject matter mentioned above, but not so many on cityscapes. How nice then that this award-winning
series has not just this one, but other titles on painting scenes from London and Paris too. As with the other Ready To Paint titles each of I
the five projects tells you everything you need to know, from what color paints and type of brushes to buy to how to achieve the picture
in a large number of easy, staged steps. Choose from iconic scenes such as the Brooklyn Bridge, Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building O
(minus King Kong), Flatiron Building and Central Park, here more imaginatively shown in winter. You can throw your paint by numbers
away with books like this - more in the same vein, please!
