Paint Like a Poet
Paint Like a Poet combines poetry and painting for a one-of-a-kind approach to watercolor painting! Designed to accompany the “Poetry” plans in Creation to Christ, this full-color book provides a host of easy-to-follow watercolor tutorials inspired by the scenic poetry of Robert Frost. Each painting lesson introduces a new poem by Robert Frost, with highlighted text to show which lines to use for copywork.
