By concentrating on a single flower type, Fiona Peart rather cleverly sidesteps the problems of dealing with what can be a bewildering variety of forms. Instead, she is able to concentrate on the colours & shapes that Charles Reid said are the real basis of flower painting. In the five demonstrations that make up the book, Fiona shows you blooms in a range of contexts from single varieties to colour & group studies. However, as well as demonstrating composition & representation, Fiona will also show you how to use washes, shading & granulation to great effect in both foregrounds & backgrounds. As an introduction to flower painting, the single-type approach has much to recommend it. However, Fiona also offers what turns out to be a great deal of technical advice that has wider application, making this a worthwhile investment for any artist. Book: Search Press.
