Inhaltsangabe

How do you decide what to paint?

You can always rely on tried-and-tested themes: the bowl of fruit, the vase of flowers, the seated figure or portrait, the landscape view. But how do you find a fresh approach or a new idea?

In this treasure trove of inspiration Hazel Soan shows how to develop your observational skills so you will discover subjects all around you - at work, at home, on holiday, while travelling - and often in the least obvious places.

With a combination of ideas, practical instruction, illustrated projects and step-by-step demonstrations in watercolour, oils and acrylics, this beautifully illustrated little book will help you to unlock your creativity and find inspiration wherever you look.
