5.0 out of 5 stars
I liked it!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Painting Flowers A to Z with Sherry C. Nelson, MDA (Paperback)
This book is a pleasure to look at. It has 50 step by step examples of flowers. I don't work in oils but I can easily apply the use of other mediums from the examples in this book. Usually I'm very disappointed in these step-by-step books but this time I was pleasantly surprised.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great painting book...,
By Barb Rausch (Franklin, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Painting Flowers A to Z with Sherry C. Nelson, MDA (Paperback)
I haven't painted for years but this book was just great to get me started again. The author has great pictures showing step by step how to hold the paint brush and do blending and shading. Her instructions are clear and concise and she demonstrates a great variety of flowers, even a bubble bee. I am using this book to learn how to paint with acrylics even though her instructions are for oil. I'd recommend this book to a beginner or an experienced painter. A great reference book also.

Perfect for beginners,
By Ruth Caballero (minnesota, usa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Painting Flowers A to Z with Sherry C. Nelson, MDA (Paperback)
This book is excellent for a beginning painter like me who wants to paint stunning, life-like flowers. The illustrations are beautiful, the step-by-step instructions are easy to follow, and the results make you want to paint the next flower, and the next.... I find the color range to be excellent; of the 50 flowers taught, 18 are pinks, purples, and blues, 16 are red and/or yellow, 6 are predominantly white, and the rest, like pansies, foxgloves, and daisies, are multiple colored.
The instructions not only give the colors needed for each project, but also how to mix that particular shade. With this help, I am learning to mix the colors I see and need for my own compositions. The line drawings are easy to work with and mean I can concentrate on painting, instead of struggling with getting the shape of the flower just right. All in all, if what you really want to learn is to paint something beautiful, this is the book you need.
