Twelve garden subjects, each one already sketched onto the page in a line so light you paint straight over it. A watering can, a pot of lavender, a sun hat, a wheelbarrow of flowers, a set of garden tools, a pair of yellow rain boots. It is a coloring book for grown ups and children alike, except you finish in watercolor and the page is worth tearing out and framing.

Every spread gives you a finished painting to copy, the exact color palette printed beside it, and numbered instructions, so you are never staring at a blank page wondering where to start. Most paintings take about half an hour. Printed on custom 120 lb watercolor paper that takes a wet brush without buckling, with lay flat spiral binding and clean tear out pages, at a travel ready 6.5 by 9 inches. Original artwork by Emily Lex, made in the USA. Paint and brushes sold separately — get the Emily Lex watercolor brush set, five round brushes in sizes 8 down to 0 from the same studio.
