4.0 out of 5 stars Daphne Hicks Flower Power, 19 Jun 2008
By Daphne Hicks "flower power" (East Yorks England) - See all my reviews
I consider this book to be a useful addition to my collection of Botanical painting books as I am taking the Botanical Society Diploma course and this is one of the study books for students. I found the pages devoted to mixing colours very informative but the actual examples of working with colours were a little dull and lacking that excitment factor I was hoping for. On the whole good but for me could have been better!

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, 21 Oct 2007
By J. Rigby "Reader" (London, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I had been looking forward to this book but found it very disappointing. I had expected a comprehensive explanation of the use of colour in botanical painting in general but found it concentrated on only a few specimens which seemed to be arbitrarily chosen. Moreover, one of the flowers illustrated was a mecanopsis and the colour was so different from that of the actual flower that I felt thoroughly cheated. An explanation of the wider use of colour in flower painting would have been much more useful. I'm sorry but this is definitely a case of "could have done so much better". What a pity!

5.0 out of 5 stars A book both deliate and substantial, 9 Nov 2007
By Halloween Becky (London, England) - See all my reviews
I bought this book as a treat for myself and was instantly attracted to the delicate beauty of the cover illustration. I knew before opening it that with The Society of Botanical Artists behind it, this book was going to be more than your average 'How to Paint Pretty Flowers' title. I only class myself as an amateur botanical painter but feel that this is a book for all levels. I appreciated the informative colour charts and the challenging projects and I feel for certain my more advanced friends would love the advice on how to build-up colour in a painting and bringing luminosity and transparency to your flowers and foliage. In fact, I might buy one or two books as gifts this Christmas! This book is not over ambitious in its content; focussing on colour in such detail with such authority, I found it to be a great resource for exploring the complexities of botanical painting.
