Ready to Paint Roses in Watercolour
Review
Janet Whittle is one of the most popular flower
painters around today and it's not hard to see why. Her work
focuses on the flowers themselves, but always in context so that
she falls outside the rather technical area of botanical
illustration, while still providing clearly identifiable
subjects.
Using pre-drawn tracings that take care of the structure of the
work, the Ready to Paint guides allow you to concentrate on
brushwork and colour and here, by sticking to one flower type,
Janet allows you to develop these skills in a simplified context.
There are five projects, each of which has its own outline and a
particularly detailed step-by-step demonstration and concentrates
on a single colour so that you have pink, yellow, red, maigold and
white blooms, all of them in simple, yet attractive,
arrangements.
As a way of learning flower painting, this is as good a way to
start as any and positive results should encourage you to
persevere.
