Learn to paint trees and woodlands in thirty half-hour lessons with master artist Geoff Kersey. Tracings are provided to transfer to the paper or canvass. No drawing necessary!

This complete beginner's guide to painting trees and woodlands scenes is ideal if you want to learn to paint but are short on time. 30 quick and easy exercises that each take no more than 30 minutes to complete offer you a complete course for all the skills you need to paint trees on their own and as part of beautiful scenes.

The 30-minute paintings are all worked at postcard size - ideal for a 6 x 4in watercolor pad, and tracings are included for those with limited drawing skills. Each small painting is a work of art in its own right, and can be stored in your portfolio for reference later, or framed and hung on the wall to impress your friends.

The final section of the book contains three complete paintings that demonstrate how to combine all the techniques and elements of painting landscapes, as gleaned from the preceding chapters. These paintings, too, are accompanied by actual-size tracings.
