Product Description
Product Description
This book teaches complete beginners how to paint a beautiful floral watercolour in just one weekend by practicing the technique exercises on Saturday, then following them through to paint a picture on Sunday. It starts by introducing materials, then leads readers through a series of exercises designed to provide a basic grounding for the subject. It features six weekend projects for painting a range of popular floral subjects: a single flower; and indoor still life; an outdoor close-up; and wild flowers in the landscape. Clear instructions accompany step-by-step photographs throughout, and technical information is given in special feature boxes.

Thanks, Jill!

Format:Paperback
After months of sitting with my preschooler at the easel and painting nothing but crude daisies, I bought this book. It's been three days and I am already painting flowers that look like flowers. The techniques are simple and are explained well with text and photographs. I find that many how-to-paint books are filled with the artist's own finished works but never show the intimidated beginner how to get there. This book is different in that it takes the reader through a step-by-step process that begins with the first stroke and ends with the final product. I highly recommend this book to the beginning watercolorist.

Just like to say after purchasing other books which should have been for beginners and turned out not to be so.This book Watercolors in a weekend - flowers was finally what I needed! This is really a step by step book. I was able to follow directions easily and creating is a great joy - I can do it! Perfect for beginner watercolorists.
