There are then 10 step-by-step demonstrations that can be produced in half an hour: a misty lake, a track with puddles, a ford, a waterfall, a lazy river, a stormy sea, cliffs, fishing from a boat, a sunset estuary, and a fishing boat. Encouraging spontaneity and liveliness, this brisk approach demystifies the painting process and quickly builds skills and confidence in amateur artists.
