Painting Happiness: Creativity with Watercolors

Combat stress and anxiety and release your own inner creative with this beautiful mindful watercolour book.

In   this simple and vibrant guide, hugely popular Instagram muse   @TerryRunyan explores the art of watercolour through the lens of   mindfulness, presenting activities and projects which you can paint   along with as you allow your creative side to flourish.

This   watercolour guide is easy and accessible for beginners, as Runyan  gently  delves into the basics of the artform, starting with simple  techniques  which you can follow along with, as well as presenting some  fun projects  ideas for painters to explore.

Alongside beautiful  examples of  the techniques and styles explored in the book, Runyan also  encourages  readers to practice mindfulness as they paint, and explores  the ways in  which art can be used to help improve mental health.  Exploring the idea  of 'perfectly imperfect watercolours', Runyan places  emphasis on  self-expression and allowing yourself to make mistakes.

Painting Happiness also includes fun projects for readers to try at home, including:
Turning blobs into birds
Creating wild hairstyles
Experimenting with different prompts to paint at least one thing a day
From   technical skills and notes on materials to insight into the creative   process, this book has everything you need to start flourishing in   watercolour.
