What a wonderful book, not only in that Sherry takes the reader step by step toward painting all kinds of flowers, but also as a reference of different flowers. Sherry uses oils, but the techniques and paintings can be easily adapted to any medium.

Delicate realistic photos. Just not my style but would be good for learning more slavishly realistic styles.
