Trudy Friend's latest book explores the joyful world of flowers – not in isolation as is so often the case – but in their settings, whether
that is an overflowing window box or a herbaceous borders, flowers in a cornfield or blossom-laden trees. Using coloured pencils, both T
hard and water-soluble varieties, Trudy shows you how to use them to best effect, with clear examples of techniques, step-by-step stages
to follow and plenty of Trudy's annotated drawings. There's useful information on creating textures, using masking fluid, and working I
from photographs. Readers of Leisure Painter will be familiar with Trudy's teaching style and her beautiful drawings will win over those
yet to be introduced to her work. O
