These books are just plain fun to read, and whether you're just beginning to paint or have years of experience you'll discover designs to love. You'll find this set of books a treasury of tips and reminders that the reason we paint in the first place is because it's fun. If you like to paint with a smile in your heart you won't be disappointed with the Home Companions! They richly deserve to be considered classics in the field and their charms won't become dated.

We have grouped these three companion volumes together because they are truly something special. Jean and Shirley share their "most favorite" techniques as well as their enthusiasm. If your painting book collection contained only these three books you would have the foundation for an excellent painting library.

Each 48-page volume features 12 pages of color, including two or more helpful step-by-step color worksheets.
