4.0 out of 5 stars exceptional book, June 9, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Painting Flowers the Van Wyk Way (Hardcover)
As a lover of flowers and a painter I truly enjoyed this book. Readers will find a step by step guide into the world of painting and be guided into the specifics of painting flowers. Tha author gives a through and one of the most complete explanations of the basic components of a painting. Her explanations for the values Composition,Drawing, Motivation, Color, Harmony and Tone value are excellent and well worth the price of the book and make you feel part of an actual art class. Illustrations are magnificent and the authors personal experience and tips are nopt only helpful in the art of flower painting, amateur or professional, but become actual blessings. It is truly a book worth owning.

5.0 out of 5 stars I now paint gorgeous flowers..., February 3, 2009
By 
God Lover (Los Angeles, Ca United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Painting Flowers the Van Wyk Way (Hardcover)
I have nothing to say but good about this inspiring book. Helen gives some masterful tips on painting flowers as still life. My flowers didn't have that "alive look" ( light and depth which create realism) until this fantastic book came along. I was lucky enough to get a beautiful new copy of the book for my birthday from a treasured friend. Got an artist friend that enjoys painting flowers like I do? This would be an incredible gift. I now have the "painterly look" like the old masters I've been after for a long time, as well as handling color and light in an easy way. Best of all my art is selling instead of coming home from the gallery and coffee shops where it's been hanging. helen's way is loose, natural, and beautiful. I can confidently paint floral pictures I'm proud of after struggling for so long. Thanks Tiffany, for the nice gift!
