Series: Anyone Can Paint

This inspiring book has been reimagined as part of the accessible Anyone Can Paint series.

Whether you are a beginner or a more experienced artist you will be amazed at how quickly you can produce beautiful paintings following the clear, straightforward written and visual steps. The outlines for each of the six projects appear at the end of the book for you to trace, transfer and customize so you can start to paint impressive floral compositions straight away.

Written by professional artist and tutor Julie King, this guide features a short but inclusive ‘what you need’ section, enabling you to gather together the paints, brushes, and basic equipment required before you start painting. Additionally, the book provides some brief guidance on general techniques, such as how to hold the brush, how to add water to your paint, and how to mix your colours to achieve the perfect petal hue.

The six stunning step-by-step projects that follow build in difficulty as you work through the book, introducing new techniques as they are used and incorporating numerous handy hints and tips from the author to help you progress on your painting journey.
