You don't need much to do this, another point in its favor. You can use a ball point pen, or a felt pen, or a plastic pipette or even a home-made bamboo pen (one of the world's fastest growing plants). Have a practice and see what each can do. Go around the house and round up as many "ink" pens as you can find, as I did and get scribbling. This ought to free up your artistic side, and there are some nature sketches to try as well. How I do love a hands-on book that gets you started without a lot of discussion. Then have a play with your watercolor paints and try some different techniques, then put it all together and have a go at Wendy's projects.

The theme here is the great outdoors (no portraits or animals) but this is a wide topic, and differs from flowers through landscapes to buildings from more than one country. This is a very user-friendly book, and should get the creative juices flowing. It certainly got me remembering how much I enjoy using this method.
