The watercolour flower painter's handbook - Patricia Seligman

Different artists offer an intimate insight into how they approach their subjects, each bringing invaluable advice about their understanding of flower painting. Tips are included on finding a subject, the art of fast line, composition, light, shade, and how to achieve strong contrasts with dark tones and glowing colours. Here you will learn about brushwork, blending, wet-on-dry and wet-on-wet techniques, masking, glazing, adding highlights and much more. Learn about capturing the changing seasons and the characteristics of each species.

Here is a book which will encourage you to explore your own style, to be adventurous and to and record the beauty of flowers in delicate and translucent watercolour.
