"Become a Painter", Vol 2, Book AC, Variant S+D (both Strong and Delicate sketches) A new, educational series of painting books / coloring books designed for gifted / older kids and adults. ! This book contains both French and English subtitles, so it is good if your kids like France and learn French. ABOUT THIS BOOK: This art book includes: grayscale + color pics. Themes: France, Paris, landscape, cityscape, people, architecture, sun set. Choose it, if you want to do some experiments. Then, you will be able to compare your results and to decide which book (strong or delicate) you'd like to buy next time. FROM THE AUTHOR: The artists first create sketches. Then they paint on it. My book series will show you that painting and coloring can be pleasant, fun and easier than you think (even for your kids) - if you use both my sketches and reference pictures (Book A or AC) instead of blank pages. And the best: with every picture you draw, you'll be a better and better artist. First your paintings won't look like the works of Leonardo da Vinci or Monet. And you may encounter difficulties: lack of experience, little details, no idea for the next color. But don't worry. Practice, draw, improve your skills. And suddenly, one day you will see that what you have drawn is really good. That's why I designed for you not only this one book, but also the whole series! AS A SCIENTIFIC JOURNALIST, I WOULD GIVE YOU A SCIENTIFIC TIP: Some scholars argue that talent... doesn't exist. There are only predispositions. And 10,000 hours is enough to master any skill: a new foreign language, painting, master level cooking, composing music and playing any instrument. It means that you can become an artist, engineer, architect, and whoever you want. BTW talent: I designed an activity book with games for kids, to improve their perceptiveness, abstract reasoning and lateral thinking: https: //amazon.co.uk/dp/1549717413 Various Styles: I painted my pictures using various styles, colors and tools, including digital and classic tools (pencils, acrylic, oil and other experimental techniques). Thanks to this, you can see the differences and try different methods and learn better painting and coloring. Then you can become a better artist. ABOUT THE SERIES: - big (8.5 x 11" / 22 x 28 cm), smooth paper, color - you can color books -with- OR -without- pages removal - various graphic styles and themes, photo-realistic paintings, photos and a mini guide - you can color (use strong drawings) or you can develop your drawing skills (use delicate sketches) - every book gives you hours of good entertainment, exercises, relax, and artistic pleasure Available 12 Books: Nature Is Beautiful, Vol. 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11.

Besides, the art is as good as contact with animals: it develops their sensibility. Have a great time, Lech Balcerzak
