The Modern Flower Painter

This book is great if someone is looking to make realistic flowers. I saw Anna's free youtube videos online and went for her book. I wanted to paint realistically in watercolour (which is v.hard) and this book helped me to achieve it mostly flowers-pink rose, clemantis,viola,cosmos,tulips,oriental poppy and dahlia with her detailed instructions.My painting has improved by following her method. However, leaves, dew-drops, stems are not discussed in this book..Her style is not fluid, but is perfect for building textures.

One of the best books for Water Coloring. Anna's techniques allows you to be in a good control during entire painting process. You may also like to visit her website to get more understanding & demonstration of her work. Also received the book in excellent condition & much before the date specified at the time of ordering. Thanks Amazon.

... und auch in der Druckversion ein Augenschmauß :-) Anna Masons Bilder sind unverwechselbar- Blumen, Früchte auf weißem Grund und ab und an auch ein Tier mit knalligen Farben und lebendigen Pinselstrichen. Das Spielerische daran entsteht bei ihr vor allem durch eine gute, ausgewogene Technik und nicht durch minutiös, perfekt ausgeführte Striche. Was dazu nötig ist, präsentiert sie detailliert in diesem Buch. Auch für Anfänger geeignet. Besonders gelungen: extrem große Bilder geben jedes Detail preis, viele erklärende Bilder, detaillierte Step-by-Step Demonstrationen, genaue Wiedergabe der Farben (!). Für die Demos gibt es passende Umriss-vorlagen zum nachmalen, aber keine Fotos. Im Idealfall sollten eigene Fotos/ Pflanzen verwendet werden. Das Kindle-Ebook ist in Form doppelseitiger Bilder, d.h. es ist keine Textauswahl möglich und es können auch keine Einzelseiten angezeigt werden. Dafür kann alles vergrößert werden, Notizen und Markierungen (Rahmen) sind möglich & es ist sehr schön gestaltet. Wer noch einfachere florale Übungen sucht: Adelene Fletcher - Blumenaquarelle Ähnliches Niveau, aber kontrollierterer Pinselstrich: Billy Showell (sämtliche Bücher sehr gelungen) Besonders malerisch: Susan Harrison-Tustain "Glorious Garden Flowers"

Bom livro de aquarela artística botânica com desenhos das flores em movimento.

if you have ever wanted to do fine watercoloring of flowers this is a book for you. I have always wanted to do this. I never had the skill. this delightful woman is so encouraging and a wonderful teacher (she gives wonderful advice on how to choose your paper and tools) i'm going into this slowly. I had started to do some watercoloring for a few years. I had started to improve, but it was a "hot mess" a lot of the time. it turns out, your paper and brushes and watercolors all make a huge difference in getting success. there are many styles of painting and this is just one of them. I have had very little training (except some online card classes and watching really good you tube videos - Sandy Allnock, Kristina Werner, Jennifer McGuire, Debbie Hughes, Kathy Racoosin are some of my favorites (they are cardmakers, but you can use their techniques for other kinds of painting) Have fun and enjoy!

Rien à dire : envoi dans les temps et réception parfaite . Livre impeccable .

I held off on buying this book for a long time as I thought I really didn't need another step by step watercolour book. It is so stunning though that I couldn't resist, and I'm really glad I have it. The colours are incredibly beautiful, notably including her table of greens. The book is very visual and demonstrates clearly how to create those gorgeous colours on the paper through layering. lt's like some important elements of Making Color Sing by Jeanne Dobie made super easy to understand and follow. Same with creating hue and tone. It's very visual and explains things really well. So even if detailed watercolour isn't your preferred style, there is much to learn and practice about creating very beautiful colours with layering. Very well done.
