The Ready to Paint series provides six tracings for readers to pull out and transfer on to watercolour paper. 

There is one for each of the five step-by-step demonstrations, plus a bonus tracing of the inspirational painting in the introduction section, and full instructions on how to transfer the images. People who want to learn to Irish Landscapes in watercolour without relying on their drawing skills have everything they need in this book.

The beautiful scenes include the Argory, a National Trust property in County Tyrone, a Singing Pub in County Donegal, Glendalough, a historic site in County Wicklow, Glencar Lake in County Sligo and Doo Lough in County Mayo.

There is also a beautiful Roscommon lake scene featuring Castle Island on Lough Key for readers to have a go at once they have mastered the skills learned from the demonstrations, and a tracing is provided for this too.
