Lesley's book is great for beginners and enthusiasts alike, each project within it is clearly structured with step-by-step guidance, along with helpful hints and tips to build your confidence as you paint.

All artworks in the book are designed at postcard size (6 x 4in / A6), making them ideal for quick, satisfying creative sessions—whether in an evening or a free afternoon.

And there’s no need to worry about drawing—full-size line templates for every design are included, so you can focus on enjoying the painting process from the very start.
