Ever find yourself looking wistfully at a set of paints in an art store, and then thinking: "So what if I buy the paints: what next?" If so, then this book is for you.

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 in right from the start. Pick a tube and squeeze it out. Get a brush and just paint it on. Because the more you use paint, the more used to paint you become. 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 to happen: You'll learn to paint.
