Synopsis

Collins Flower Painting Through the Seasons provides a year-long painting course in watercolour, and reveals that the quieter seasons of autumn and winter offer just as many possibilities for flower painting as the busy spring and summer months.

The book is divided into four main sections covering the seasons, which are then divided into monthly chapters. Each chapter offers one full step-by-step demonstration plus several projects – some simple, some more ambitious – relevant to the time of year. The range of seasonal subjects, with their varying colours, will ensure that Collins Flower Painting Through the Seasons is a visual treat.

The book includes:

Practical projects relating to aspects of painting appropriate to the month in question

Step-by-step demonstrations for each month of the year

Varied subjects including seasonal blossoms, seedheads, fruits, berries and foliage, from the hedgerow, orchard, vegetable garden and conservatory as well as the garden
