Painting flowers in watercolours is one of my favourite topics but it never ceases to amaze me the vast array of techniques there are to produce various results. Wendy Tait's style of painting was one that I was immediately attracted to and I was eager to learn what techniques she used. In several useful sections Wendy clearly explains the structure which she follows to compose such stunning paintings. Explaining the materials needed, colours, composition and sketching no stone is left unturned. My favourite part of the book is the projects that are included. By completing the projects I got a true insight on how to follow certain techniques. I was amazed by the results and I am sure any reader of this book will be. Wendy Tait offers a thought provoking conclusion; read as many books as you can because you can use the recommended techniques in addition to the way you paint.
