Paige Tate & Co, Watercolor Workbook: 30-Minute Beginner Projects

Twenty-five botanical watercolour projects on premium 200gsm paper — pre-drawn, step-by-step, and designed to be finished in half an hour.

Sarah Simon (@themintgardener) has taught thousands of people to paint with watercolour, and this workbook is the direct result of that teaching. The sketches are already on the page — wild roses, poppies, sunflowers, buttercups, dandelions, and more — which means there is no drawing required and no blank page to confront. Each project has step-by-step instructions and takes thirty minutes or less, and the paper is 200gsm premium watercolour stock with no bleed-through, which means the results genuinely look the part. An introduction to fundamental watercolour techniques is included at the front. Paint straight in the book, or tear out the finished pieces — the paper is made for it. 68 pages, 10 x 10 inches.
