Reviews

People often want to take up painting when they retire and have more time. Others start sooner, once their kids are grown and in
school. The drawing part of painting can be hard for beginners – enough of an obstacle so they give up or never get past painting by A
numbers.

The “Ready to Paint” series from Search Press in England is designed so that novice painters can pick up a brush and create appealing T
paintings with easy-to-follow tracings. The tracings can be reused. The idea is that you gain confidence as your hand-eye coordination is
trained, by following the tracings, while you have some pleasing results to motivate you to keep trying.
I
“Watercolour Flowers” by Wendy Tait has nine reusable tracings to pull out. “Watercolour Landscapes” by Terry Harrison has six O
reusable tracings to pull out. Both are to be published in June.
