What people are saying ...
"Literal perfection ...
Peggy writes as though you are sitting down with one another, over a cup of coffee, talking about art and asking her for pointers to help you get going in your own direction. I LOVE this book. It covers everything. Every and any question I had when starting my art hobby is answered in this book, from the best pens, to the best water set up for your brushes. But it's so much more than just that. She goes through techniques, steps, and what works best so that you can ultimately be the best at your art!"

"I am back to doing art finally!
I used to draw and paint a lot before my children were born. I have tried for years to get back into it, but it felt too intimidating. I even attended some art classes and that didn't help me that much either. I came across Peggy's book and I am back at drawing and painting nature. She makes it so easy and fun to get into it. I am just a much happier person and very grateful to Peggy for writing this book!"

It isn’t just step by step instructions, I love that she explains why you are doing a specific thing in that step so you know where to apply that thing when working outside the book.
