Painting Calm

Painting Calm – Inga Buividavice

A few paints, a little water and some lovely time just for you. 🌿

Painting Calm is a beautiful book that invites you to slow down, notice the natural world and enjoy putting brush to paper. Think earthy colours, delicate leaves, seasonal flowers and the pleasure of creating something simply because it makes you happy.

Artist and teacher Inga Buividavice guides you with gentle prompts, easy-to-follow exercises and gorgeous illustrations. You don’t need any painting experience—just a little curiosity and a willingness to have a go.

If you’ve ever sat at our craft table and said, “I’m not artistic,” this is exactly the sort of book we’d love you to pick up. There’s room to experiment, make a splash and see what happens!

Inside you’ll discover:

• Watercolour supplies explained, with advice on using them

• Simple techniques and an introduction to colour theory

• Exercises to help you find inspiration outdoors

• Seasonal projects exploring trees, leaves, flowers, light and natural patterns

• Gentle encouragement to make creativity part of everyday life

It’s a lovely reminder that you don’t have to produce a masterpiece to enjoy painting. Sometimes, the lovely bit is simply being absorbed in something, watching the colours mingle and giving yourself time to play.

A thoughtful gift for a nature lover, a budding painter or anyone who would enjoy a quieter, more creative moment. Pop the kettle on and leave the washing-up for later. 💚
