Lush & lively flowers you can paint - Sharon Hamilton

Make your decorative painting spring to life!

Create realistic-looking flowers, leaves and foliage that are alive with a rich luminosity of color and depth. No longer will your decorative painting be limited by the flat, poster-like appearance often produced by acrylic paints.

In Lush & Lively Flowers You Can Paint, Sharon Hamilton illustrates her two-stage approach to painting florals. You'll learn to build form and dimension in your work using undercoats and intense light and dark colors. Then, you'll further enhance your flowers with a simple oil glaze.

Whether you're a beginner or an experienced decorative painter, you'll benefit from step-by-step demonstrations and instructions. Ten gorgeous projects feature popular subjects including morning glories, daylilies, wildflowers and tulips. Each project includes a pattern, a color swatch chart, a materials list and a photo showcasing the finished project.

With Lush & Lively Flowers You Can Paint, you'll have the confidence, skill, and techniques to make your painted flowers come to life!
