Drawing on previously published material from Search Press's
Leisure Arts and Watercolour Tips and Techniques series,
Watercolour Flowers: Step by Step includes advice from Wendy Tait,
Jackie Barras, Richard Bolton and Ann Mortimer. Each of the artists
has their own unique watercolour style so this book provides a wide
range of information that will encourage you to paint successful
flower paintings in a variety of ways. The book is divided into
four sections: Wendy Tait focuses on wild flowers, Jackie Barras
looks at how to achieve light in flower painting, Richard Bolton
explores how to develop creative techniques and Ann Mortimer
concludes by painting flowers in the landscape. There are also 12
projects for you to work through.
*Leisure Painter - December 2020*
Watercolour Flowers Step-by-Step is a title that manages to
stand out in one of the craft's most competitive fields. Giving
crafters the chance to either establish or hone their card front
florals, it's driven by a bundle of projects outlined with clear
and concise instructions that manage to offer something to
beginners, intermediates, and even experts.
*Crafts Beautiful*
Some inspiring projects, and a mix of techniques to try. They are
good tutorials if you have some experience or understanding of
watercolour. Overall I’d say an inspiring book with nice ideas.
