Watercolor Botanicals:Learn to Paint Your Favorite Plants and Florals

This fresh and fun introduction to watercolour teaches beginner artists to create their own botanical-inspired paintings. Start by learning how to select paper, paint and brushes and then dive into lessons and exercises on creating a palette, blending colours and adding dimension and detail. Once you’ve mastered the essential techniques, you’ll learn to paint cacti, popular houseplants and individual flowers, including roses, peonies, lavender and more. You’ll also learn how to combine these individual components into more complex compositions, ranging from frames and wreaths to colourful bouquets. Step-by-step tutorials, along with artist Eunice Lee’s expressive and charming artwork, offer all the guidance that you’ll need. Whether you’re rendering small motifs to decorate a card or creating a piece for your personal gallery, this book will inspire you to bring your favourite plants and florals to life.
