What to Paint Flowers in Watercolour Book with Wendy Tait

If you're reading this, the chances are that you already have an idea of what you want to paint. However, flowers offer such a variety of colours, shapes and challenges that it can be a problem to know where to start.

Wendy has taken the basic idea of this new series and turned it into a primer of flower painting that allows you to get started without having to worry about where to start.

Following a wonderfully informed and informing chapter on Sources of Inspiration, the book features 24 simple compositions, mostly of single varieties, each with an outline you can trace down onto your own paper. Wendy also shows you how you can combine ideas from different sources to create mixed posies with a wider range of colours and shapes. She offers valuable advice as well on your basic palette and the most common mixes you will need - worth the price of the book on its own.

This book does more than many before it to clear away the mystique that surrounds flower painting.
