If you have always wanted to paint flowers, but have been daunted by how complex they seem - then this is the book for you. It
contains several different types of flower painting - delicate watercolours, free style, botanical style and acrylics with a combination of
both oil and watercolour styles. Step by step instructions show each effect is obtained, encouraging artists to try new methods and find A

out if it suits them. For anyone who has difficulty drawing, there are outlines that can be traced and reused. Among the flowers included
in this book are poppies, sunflowers, roses, irises, tulips, jonquils and clematis. A very well organised book, which is easy to follow no T
matter whether you are a beginner or an experienced artist. Definitely useful, and full of helpful tips and ideas.
