Forget everything you think you know about traditional watercolor painting–Posh Paint Play will show you how to experiment with paint, use it spontaneously, and have fun—no experience required!
 

Through 21 simple, achievable activities, artist Katie Rose Johnston demonstrates different ways of mixing colors, experiments with textures using salt and cling film, makes spatter art, animal print patterns, and much more.

Each is designed for novice and experienced creative types, achievable at home. Focusing on the process rather than the result, Paint Play is the perfect inspiration for anyone who wants to discover techniques to use in both their own paintings and beyond (cards, other artwork, etc.), play with paint, and have fun!
