This review is from: Painting Your Favorite Flowers Step-By-Step (Paperback)
This is the BEST book for step-by-step instructional floral painting I have ever seen! Each step is photographed & explained in detail so even the novice painter can follow & learn how to paint flowers like the experts. By far the most comprehensive floral painting book to date! Mary did an outstanding job with this book!! Anyone wanting to learn or improve their floral or leaf painting skills should definitely buy this book! Everyone can benefit from this book, even the most accomplished artist!

This review is from: Painting Your Favorite Flowers Step-By-Step (Paperback)
I've had this book for many years now, and it seems I am always referring back to it for step by step painting instructions. Mary Wiseman is a superior teacher and her books have instructed me very well on the art of decorative painting. I recommend this book to beginners and advanced decorative painters.
