kinezumi89: This book is just perfect! I'm not sure why people are complaining that it doesn't teach you to paint photorealistic flowers. That's not its purpose.
My main "craft" is lettering but I was wishing I could add better artistic details. I don't want to spend far more time painting than lettering; I'm just looking for patterns that clearly convey what they are (a rose; a carnation; a leaf; a seed pod) without needing to be too realistic or accurate.
Expert watercolorers may want to look elsewhere, but if you're new to the hobby or not looking to do anything too high-level, this book is perfect for you! I also appreciate the basic "intro to watercolor" at the beginning with helpful exercises on dilution, blending, different brush techniques, and so on. Highly recommended!

JessicaJessica: I’ve bought a lot of watercolor instruction books lately and this is definitely my favorite for flowers!
The book starts off with paint colors and mixing. Author includes specific names/brands of paint but also encourages you to use what you have.
There are some “getting used to watercolor” exercises. A few are repeats from most books (making swatches and gradients) but some exercises were new to me & look fun.
Next is the section on painting specific flowers. I included the pictures of the two pages on Roses so you can see the different positions she demonstrates. I also included picture of the table of contents so you can see what specific flowers are covered.
There is a small section covering leaves and foliage.
The second half of the book is about making full design compositions such as painting a bouquet or a frame of flowers. These are more advanced pages once someone has learned the flower shapes.
I hope the pictures help you decide if this book is for you!
