Gorgeous! I borrowed as an ebook from my library but I'm adding it to my Christmas list because it's so practical, the tips and examples are so clear and easy to follow. I struggle with wanting realism in my floralsthem get discouraged. This was so encouraging to have fun and enjoy the loose process and not get too technical.
Highly recommend, especially for beginners.

ma ausalt lugesin selle raamatu otsast lõpuni läbi, isegi kaks korda, aga kõiki lilli ei ole seni veel maalima õppinud, jaks sai otsa. vast pöördun nende juurde kunagi tagasi, sest õpetused on väga head ja detailsed.

erinevalt enamusest joonistamisõpikutest, mida olen püüdnud lugeda, loen selle siin päriselt ka täielikule algajale täiesti sobivaks. kuigi alguses tundub, et selliseid pilte ei saa tavaline inimene üldse ise teha, siis vabalt saab, tuleb lihtsalt ette võtta.

ja ei, päris esimesel korral kindlasti ei tule nii hea kui raamatus. aga umbes kolmandal juba vabalt võib tulla, sest selle kunstniku stiil on tõesti vesivärvidele väga sobilikult... vaba. jälgin teda Instagramis ka ja raamatu ostsin tegelikult sellepärast, et mingi ajani sai sellega kaasa ka tasuta veebikursuse ehk siis enamvähem sama asi videovormis. see oli ka abiks.

Another great reference book to painting florals and combinations into stunning art. I can’t wait to try and use these techniques to create cards and gifts.

simply lovely

I was looking to practice my painting water color skills. This wonderfully accurate wildflower book fits the bill! Color charts, brush type suggestions and how to page by page learn the correct shapes and then the practices lead up to making a bouquet! I saw on vacation a beautiful watercolor painting of a mason jar filled with wildflowers. It was of course too much for our young families budget. But, it has always haunted me…now perhaps I will make my own…thanks to all who brought this gem to light…. Do more just like it!!!

Wildflower Watercolor: The Beginner’s Guide to Painting Beautiful Florals is a beautiful step-by-step guide to painting some amazing flowers found outdoors. Why pick them so they die and end up in the garbage when you can see them outside and leave them there for the whole world to enjoy? I highly recommend this book to anyone artistically inclined or anyone who wishes to be.

Very easy to follow step-by-step instructions of beautiful flowers to paint or draw. I enjoyed reading information about each flower at the start of each new tutorial.

I *really* like this author’s loose, impressionist style. I also really like the section on botanical brushstrokes.

This is a wonderful reference book, great for beginners and advanced hackers like me 😉 I'm still working on my color mixing and I thoroughly appreciated the specified color palette for each flower.

This book is hands-on fun. She takes you through a list of different flowers and teaches you step by step how to paint them. I'm learning a lot of new techniques as I follow along.
