Product Description
Book Description
Trade Paperback
--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.Product Description
This beautifully illustrated practical guide provides a year-long course in watercolour flower painting. Suitable for artists of all skill levels, it contains both step-by-step demonstrations and more challenging projects.
The book is divided into monthly chapters, revealing that the quieter seasons of autumn and winter offer just as many flower painting possibilities as the busy spring and summer months. Each chapter contains one full step-by-step demonstration plus several projects relevant to the time of year. Some of these are quite simple, but others are more ambitious and offer alternative ideas for subsequent painting sessions and different levels of expertise.
The range of seasonal subjects covered, with their varying colours, includes blossoms, seedheads, fruits, berries and foliage, from the hedgerow, orchard, vegetable garden and conservatory as well as the garden.
Ann Blockley is particularly well known for her flower paintings and this book is a real visual treat, as well as an inspirational guide to the practical aspects of painting flowers in watercolour.

This book has inspired me to try different techniques. The flowers through the season is a wonderful way of exploring the different shapes and colours going from the spring colours of daffodils through to the rich reds and browns of leaves in winter that are used throughout the book.

I BOUGHT THIS BOOK FOR A FRIEND OF MINE AS I HAD A COPY ALREADY. ITS A GREAT BOOK, AND VERY INFORMATIVE. GREAT FOR WATER COLOURIST, ALTHOUGH I DO PASTALS, ITS WORKS WITH ALL MEDIA.
i WAS SURPRISED WITH THE CONDITION OF THIS BOOK, BECAUSE IT WAS SO GOOD, I EXPECTED A BIT OF DAMAGE, BUT THERE WAS NONE TO BE SEEN.
I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS BOOK, I LOVE IT.

marvellous paintings
14 April 2005
Format:Paperback
I really love the artwork in this book. But since I do not have very much experience in watercolorpainting I do not get very good results by following her instructions. I would not recommend it to a beginner, but to someone who already masters the basic skills. In any case it is a lovely book.
