15-Minute Ink Landscapes: Simple, Striking, Soothing Lineart of Forests, Mountains, Beaches and More

Rosa Hoehn, founder of the Etsy shop and Instagram page Lines And Mountains, has channeled her passion for the outdoors and for therapeutic art into a collection of 50 step-by-step landscape drawings, of different colors and frame shapes; this book will help readers make time for quick moments of mindfulness while easily learning the basics of ink, whether or not they have ever tried their hand at drawing.

Each illustration is deconstructed into shapes readers will find easy to grasp and put together into a gorgeous whole; what’s more, Rosa has included introductory exercises to familiarize readers with different kinds of ink, as well as a section on linework basics–how to differentiate between outlines, contour lines and textures–and a section on displaying, sharing and digitizing their final compositions.

Projects like Surf Shack, Lighthouse in the Dunes and Jellyfish Swarm will make fantastic beach house gifts; romantic Forest Scenes or Lakes, Rivers and Waterfalls pieces such as Misty Winter Forest and Canoeing Along the River will make striking wedding presents. For more celestial designs, readers can try space-themes like Galaxy in a Jar–and there are even seasonal options and some Day/Night versions of these beautiful artworks.

Whether winding down from a stressful day or creating a daily art habit, readers will have a hard time putting this book down.
