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.
