Japanese Tea Courtyard

From a room with paper screens, you look out over a small Japanese garden. A low table holds a teapot and two cups. Outside, stepping stones lead to a stone lantern and a red maple in a pot. It's a good next step once you've painted a few. Your paint stays inside the lines, so the gravel, stones and wood stay apart.

How to paint it

1. Choose Watercolour for a soft look or Oil for a bolder one. Make the brush big and paint the sky light blue. Paint the curved wall and the gravel cream.
2. Paint the stepping stones, rocks and lantern grey, then add their shade with Darker. Paint the pot light brown.
3. Tap Texture twice and choose Foliage. Dab the trees and bushes sage green, then add shade with Darker.
4. Go back to your brush. Paint the posts, beams, table and screen frame light brown. Add their shade with Darker.
5. Paint the paper screen cream and the floor mats pale gold. Paint the teapot and cups light blue, and the cushion sage green.
6. Paint the maple leaves coral, then add their shade with Darker. Add the maple branches with the Pencil and the darkest brown.
