About the Book

For anyone who's ever wished they could paint but doesn't know where to begin, Start Here: Paint offers 50 progressive, themed art activities that develop skills and confidence.


Start Here: Paint gives you exciting prompts for kick-starting an artistic practice centered on drawing. By exploring how simple brushstrokes and splashes can be repeated to create more intricate images and patterns, Start Here: Paint builds up your understanding of shape, color, and technique without intimidating jargon or theory.
Start Here. Daily mark-making ideas using a variety of mediums, from painting the simplest line to using splots and splashes creatively, all designed to be completed in an hour or less.
Paint Play. Understand, master, and enjoy various painting techniques in a range of mediums, including watercolor, gouache, and acrylic.
Color Full. Have fun getting to know the basics of color with prompts that explore depth, variety, and value.
Take It from Here. From painting patterns featured stylized motifs to more realistic paintings, develop your unique creative approach by interpreting the prompts in your own way or by copying them using a different medium.
Stuff. Starts with essential supplies (or what you could add to your kit), then presents plenty of ideas of what to do with your finished work, from making T-shirts and mugs to curating your own "pin it" library of pieces you're proud of.
With Start Here: Paint as your fresh, fun creative companion, you'll learn how to paint and never want to stop.
Start Here: Paint is a companion title to Start Here: Draw, which guides you through the basics of drawing and sketching through 50 fun and inspiring exercises.
