Learn how to use watercolor to soothe your soul with this
beginner's guide to painting for relaxation. This fresh approach
looks first at the process of painting as a means to de-stress and
unwind. Many people love the idea of painting but hold themselves
back from starting because they are worried about not being good
enough or not feeling as though as are creative. In this guide for
the absolute beginner, artist and teacher Sharone Stevens shows you
that watercolor can be accessible to everyone and that just
painting very simple lines, patterns and shapes in calming colors,
concentrating on each brush stroke, can have a powerful meditative
effect, while at the same time allowing you to create beautiful art
you can be proud of. She also encourages you to connect more with
the world around you, finding inspiration in your every-day life
and discovering the beautiful textures found in nature, from tree
trunks to fruit and butterflies! The aim of the techniques and
projects in this book is to create art that relaxes both the artist
and the viewer of the finished piece. Projects range from simple
gift tags, bookmarks, cards and small wall pieces to larger art
pieces that you never thought possible - all done with a focus on
relaxation - which is so important in today's fast-paced,
increasingly digital world. Learn how to mix a calming color
palette, try simple painting exercises to get into a relaxed flow,
and create beautiful artworks that will lift the spirits both
during the painting process and beyond, as finished pieces of art.
Author Sharone Stevens is an established art teacher and talented
artist who is passionate about using art for relaxation and
encouraging others to build a regular creative practice. Her gentle
lessons and nurturing reassurance will guide even total beginners

art.
Jessica Farrell, a successful young architect living in London, has
used her career to put her romantic past - and guilt about her
parents' deaths - behind her. But then a mysterious note arrives,
and she is reluctantly drawn into intrigue, adventure, and the arms
of Edward Drummond, her former lover. To rescue Edward's kidnapped
child they must solve the puzzle inscribed within Jessica's ring -
a puzzle created by Edward's late uncle as the ultimate snare for
the diamond mining industrialist who ruined his life. But the trap
has also caught Jessica, who finds herself forced to face her
feelings about Edward and her own past. Fast-paced action propels
the story across England, Scotland and South Africa, as the
pursuers become the pursued. One by one, the secrets of the past
are unveiled, culminating in a nail-biting climax.
