Part of the new series Art Handbooks, this compact book is full of samples of watercolour flowers. Wendy shows us how to capture the
essence of flowers. The book uses step by step photos to demonstrate techniques such as washes, overlaying and detail. Some of the
material has been included in other books by this author.
