Reviews

Written by the creators of the hit YouTube channel Lois & Morgaine Davidson Art, this book teaches artists to capture the delicate beauty of blooms. From wildflowers to exotic garden favourites, this guide offers step-by-step instruction, essential techniques and inspiration, helping beginners and enthusiasts alike paint flowers with confidence and bring luminous watercolour compositions vividly to life. * Artists & Illustrators magazine * For a guide that takes its subject and reader seriously. In spite of its subtitle billing as being "for the complete beginner", this is really a guide to bringing subtlety, depth and presence to flower painting.

The exercises and their accompanying instructions are presented simply, but thoroughly, and there are detailed illustrations where you want them. The lists of materials and equipment are comprehensive and there is no attempt to cut back on the palette, either – if three shades of blue are required, three shades there will be. This is not a "two brushes and three colours" approach.

Don't be put off by the implied simplicity, this book has much to offer. * The Artist magazine * There is a very good variety of subjects and approaches range from quite soft to sharply delineated edges. The book has a busy feel to it that could feel a little off-putting at a first glance, but amply repays more detailed study where possibilities, examples and demonstrations abound and the ideas flow easily. All of this suggests authors who are confident with their subjects, materials and ways of both working and explaining. At 96 pages, it's a relatively short book, but it packs a lot in and the price is extraordinarily reasonable for what it offers. — Henry Malt * Art book review *
