Just Paint It! is based on the belief that anyone can paint. You don't need to be able to produce "a masterpiece." You don't have to make your painting look like something. You don't have to spend time worrying about composition. Or trying to second-guess how colours are going to mix. Get stuck right in from the start. And along the way, while you're having a good time with the 50 or so ideas in this book, you can expect something amazing top happen: you'll learn to paint!
