Quick & Easy Painting® presents quality painting projects in a straightforward, easy-to-understand style. As a how-to magazine, we aim to teach our readers principles and techniques for painting; lay foundations that encourage readers to develop their creativity; inform readers of new ideas, products, and trends within the industry; and present as wide a variety of projects as space, editorial focus, and audience interest allow. The projects presented in Quick & Easy Painting® are geared toward the beginning painter and the more experienced painter who wants to paint a “quick” project or wants to paint multiples of an item for gift-giving purposes.

From its painter-friendly features like “Learning Step-by-Step” (an ongoing technique guide) and “Art with a Twist,” to “Kelly’s Korner” (experimenting with different backgrounds, lettering styles, etc.), “Teach Me!” (projects for the classroom—complete with a lesson plan), “Funky Folk Art,” “Purely Primitive,” “Try This!” and more, beginning painters and accomplished artists will appreciate a fresh look at their favorite pastime.

There are at least 12 how-to projects per issue. Today’s most popular and effective teachers explain how to paint keepsake items in as little as a weekend. Multiple mediums, a wide variety of subjects, and readily available surfaces make the artwork simple to set up and fun to paint. Full-color project photos, detailed close-ups, step-by-step color worksheets, and full-size patterns make painting a snap.
