Tired of landscapes, seascapes and still life?  Want to paint pictures of a famous city?   Here is another twist on the original concept where you can get to grips with the painting part without having to worry about your lack of drawing prowess.

There are lots of books on painting the three types of subject matter mentioned above, but not so many on cityscapes.  How nice then, that this award-winning series includes not just this one book, but other titles on painting scenes from London and Paris too.  As with the other Ready To Paint titles, each of the five projects tells you everything you need to know, from what color paints and type of brushes to buy, to how to achieve the picture in a large number of easy, staged steps.  Choose from iconic scenes such as the Brooklyn Bridge, Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building (minus King Kong), Flatiron Building and Central Park, here more imaginatively shown in winter.  You can throw your paint by numbers away with books like this—more in the same vein, please!
