This title is part of a series, aimed at artists of all skill levels. The stated purpose is to encourage you to focus on the process of creation rather than the end result. In doing so, it becomes much more relaxing and fun. "Drawing is active meditation" was a statement that really stood out to me.

I should note I am not an artist by trade and I have minimal formal education in it. So this review is from the perspective of an amateur.

The focus of the book is loose, stylized, simple drawings in the style of Japanese brush paintings. Projects are attractive and I believe close to universal in appeal.

The author details brands of brush pens which is much appreciated, as well as discussing more traditional tools. For someone new to this hobby, you could begin very inexpensively. One pen and plain paper would get you started.

Projects are detailed step by step, in words and photos. The author did an excellent job explaining the process, while keeping the focus on enjoying the process.
