Janet Whittle is one of the most popular flower painters around today & 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 guide means that you can concentrate on brushwork & colour & here, by sticking to one flower type, Janet means that you can develop these skills in a simplified context. There are five projects, each of which has its own outline & a particularly detailed step-by-step demonstration. Each concentrates on a single colour so that you have pink, yellow, red, maigold & 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 & positive results should encourage you to persevere. Search Press. Paperback. 48 pages.
