Overview

Paint a garden and foster artistic growth

The pull-out tracings and step-by-step instructions in this guidebook show beginning artists how to draw and paint poppies, daisies, roses, pansies, primroses, jonquils, and daffodils. With tips for tracing and transferring the image onto watercolor paper and a detailed section on the necessary materials, this guide makes painting flowers simple and accessible, allowing novice painters to develop their skills. These elegant and vibrant projects not only build the confidence and techniques of any aspiring artist, they are also gorgeous paintings ready for framing.

"Wendy Tait offers her readers practical advice, from arranging and simplifying floral subject matter to capturing its essence in watercolour." —The Leisure Painter
