Anna’s philosophy as a watercolour teacher is that painting and sketching are for everyone. Even if you have a busy schedule, there is still time to relax the mind and build creativity with 15-minute projects. From landscapes and galaxies to flowers, cakes and animals - 15-Minute Watercolor Masterpieces offers a wide variety. Projects include: a foggy forest, a mountain landscape, sunflowers, and colourful birds. Anna covers basic watercolour techniques, along with tips on how to create just the right shade when mixing. Each project begins with instructions for a simple sketch, along with step-by-step guidelines for painting. With Anna’s experience teaching beginners, she makes each step easy to follow so that your final piece of art will be frame-worthy. Anna is the founder of DearAnnArt. She has a strong social media presence on Instagram, where she started a 15-minute watercolour hashtag to inspire beginners to try painting. This book will include 50 projects.

15-Minute Watercolor Masterpieces, Anna’s first book, is one of our strongest selling titles. She made watercolour approachable, fun and easier than ever - and now she’s doing the same with the latest painting trend, gouache. A marriage between acrylics and watercolour, gouache is the next big thing in the art world - it’s easier to control than watercolour and allows for richer pigments and easy fixes, making it a great option for beginners. Anna shows you just how magical gouache can be - and each of her 50 projects can be completed in just five easy-to-follow steps. Divided into chapters on beautiful landscapes, colourful flowers and plants, cute animals and more, readers will have a big variety of projects to choose from. And each step is accompanied by an image, making it even easier for readers to follow along. Anna is the founder of DearAnnArt, an online art community with hundreds of thousands of followers.
