I got really excited when I pulled this out at the library today. I have a big obsession with flowers and I love painting, so I was extremely eager to learn some techniques on how to paint them! The projects were breathtaking!! So beautiful, and antique-Jane-Austen-like!! Which is exactly the sort of thing I love. However...this book was clearly not written for beginners...The techniques seemed well enough explained but looked so hard! I think I have to do some more simple painting before attempting anything from this book!
