I pick up this workbook a couple evenings a week and it instantly calms me down. The sketches and step-by-step tips mean I never stare at a blank page wondering what to do.

I’ve always said I have zero artistic talent, but these pre-drawn pages changed everything. I just follow the little color guides and suddenly I have a watercolor I’m proud to show people.

I bought one for me and one for my sister and now we video call and paint a page together every Sunday. Having the lines already there keeps it fun, not stressful, and we actually finish a piece every time.

After work I make tea, open the workbook and just follow the instructions for 20–30 minutes. No overthinking, no perfectionism, just soft colors and clear steps. It’s become my favorite way to unwind.

The paper handles the water so well and the sketches are simple but pretty. As a total beginner, I love that each page tells me exactly where to start and which colors to try. It feels like a mini watercolor class in a book.
