  This work combines the popular areas of flower and landscape painting. Flowers can be the focus of a painting or merely one of the elements. Either way, they add drama and colour and can lift an ordinary landscape to a higher level. The book covers all the basic techniques an artist needs to learn, together with how to paint the colour of flowers accurately. It encourages artists to develop their ability to compose a picure successfully, and offers suggestions for expanding personal creativity. Season, climate and mood are all discussed, and their is a section on personal organization - which materials to choose and how to prepare for an outdoor trip.
