From the Back Cover:

The workshop approach to learning to paint is based on active participation by the student under the guidance of a professional tutor. In 'Watercolour Flower Painting Workshop' instructional teaching is carefully combined with practical work, and its aim is to inspire you to create beautiful flower paintings in a style that is very much your own.

There is a wealth of styles and methods available to the flower painter. Flowers can be portrayed in a detailed, illustrative manner or in a loose, more imppressionist way – and with many variations in between. Watercolour is the ideal medium for painting flowers: its translucent washes and luminous colours on white paper very effectively portray the delicacy of flower petals, and the spontaneity that comes with working in watercolour perfectly captures the ephemeral nature of the subject.

The book contains a number of features to encourage you to try out techniques for yourself – just as if you were actually attending a painting workshop – and to stimulate you to create your own original work. These include:
· Projects – of varying degrees of difficulty and with a system of self -assessment to monitor progress
· Exercises – putting theory into practice
· Demonstrations – developing a painting step by step
· Methods and materials – comprehensive guidelines to improve painting skills

· Practical tips – helpful hints and checklists
· Ideas and inspiration – varied subject matter, including flowers with still life, gardens, patios and pots, flowers in the wild, flower studies and exotics
