Learn to paint flowers in watercolour with creative confidence
Painting flowers is a joyful experience – to capture and celebrate the colour, form and beauty of flowers in watercolour is an endlessly exciting pursuit. is book encourages you to experiment and play when you paint, to enjoy the process of creating a painting, and to develop your own style as you observe and render either a single stem or a full floral abstract. By moving away from the tight constraints of botanical illustration, it encourages a looser style of floral painting that allows for a more personal and unique interpretation of the subject. Written by a much-respected artist and teacher, this beautiful book will inspire both those new to painting flowers and those seeking a different approach.
