Abstract Floral Art Inspiration

This is indeed a very comprehensive and lucid painting book to follow and has something for every level, from beginners to advance level. Easy to follow step by step guide and can lead to some brilliant abstract floral artwork, though I have thought of creating a large loose floral abstract art taking inspiration from this book, it will take some time to materialize. Highly recommend it, especially if watercolor medium is new to you.

Excellent on kindle

Excellent on kindle, can increase the size of each picture showing every little detail. The price brilliant! But best of all very informative as to colour and composition.

inspiring book but could use some more photos

I love the techniques and various expressive paintings in this book but there’s only a description of the stages of the paintings, more images would be useful to show how the washes react or direction of the brushstrokes perhaps.

Good descriptions of what she is doing. Mostly nice pictures accompanying her descriptions (with a few duds, I don't know why!)
