Flowers are a perennially popular subject for painting, but it can be hard to know how and
where to get started.

In this simple guide, Trevor explains shapes and colours as well as brushwork, shading, tints and hues. All of these will help you towards the goal of producing lifelike and recognisable results.

The book is packed with illustrations and it’s easy to see not only what you’re trying to achieve but how to get the image you want. Simple captions and short paragraphs make the process easy to follow and eliminate the mystique that so often surrounds flower painting. Trevor will show you not only single blooms, but also flowers in groups and on the plant - the living blossom as it grows in real life.

This is an inspiring book that’s easy to follow and will teach you all the basics and a lot more.
