Over the past 30 years, hundreds of students have learned to paint in 2 weeks or less, some instantly, with the revolutionary method and process of Tan. With your interest as a starting point, you can too. No previous experience is necessary.
Contrary to popular belief, you don't need courses in drawing, anatomy, perspective or color theory in order to learn to paint or to create great watercolor paintings. Now you can simplify the entire process with author Chinkok Tan's proven method of using shape and light values. Tan teaches by demonstration, so you can see for yourself how shape and light values create everything. For materials, you only need the three primary colors to mix all your hues and light values and one cheap brush.
