The first section of this text covers the essential aspects of painting that every beginner needs to know, such as all the basic watercolour techniques and the importance of sketching and drawing. The heart of the book, however, concentrates on Ian King's seven-stage approach to painting, which provides a clear and straightforward way to produce a complete landscape painting. The seven key stages are: painting the sky; adding the background; putting in the foreground; placing the main subject; painting the trees; adding the details; and putting in shadows. The final section then looks at a number of additional topics that can be tackled once the basics have been mastered, such as how to paint water in various forms or add people to your paintings. Lastly, several full step-by-step demonstrations bring all these elements together.

Get Buffed! II (Get More Buffed!) is a sequel - not a replacement or another book with a similar name - to the original Get Buffed! I, taking the reader to the next level. Following Ian's release of his innovation he called 'controlled drills', the world followed, often using different names instead of the one Ian originally assigned - control drills.However that is not the only way the imitation was diluted - the manner in which pre-training 'activation' work is being conducted post the release of Ian's control drill concept in the late 1990s, is at best ineffective, and at worst - and in all too many cases - detrimental.Ian introduced this concept to prevent and rehabilitate from injuries - NOT to cause them! Here's your chance to get it right, to learn from the innovator themselves, the person who introduce the concept of pre-training 'activation' drills.Ian uses and recommends control drills be performed prior to each and every workout - the lower body drills before the lower body workout, the upper body drills before the upper body workout. They can be performed in higher volume in rehab/muscle balance situations, and in lower volume for maintenance of muscle balance and to 'switch' the muscles on.This is a concise volume of totally unique and rare information. It has taken Ian decades to develop these techniques - but you can learn them in a fraction of that time because he has decided to share his unique teaching methods with you.In 1999 Ian wrote "These methods are so effective, they are sure to become mainstream." They sure have, just that what the masses are doing (including 'professionals') is rarely what Ian intended! Here's your chance to fulfill the potential of this concept and give yourself the best performance enhancement and injury prevention!They cannot be effectively taught in text - you need to experience them, and even better, have a highly skilled KSI coach teach you in person!
