Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Jackson is a highly successful decorative artist, an experienced workshop instructor, and host of her own TV series called Painting with Louise. Her purely decorative arts approach is upbeat, with the emphasis on pieces that can be taught step-by-step and that are attractive and marketable. Strictly for the beginning painter, this is a solid, useful effort. Advanced artists should turn to Kathryn Kipp's The Best of Flower Painting (North Light, 1996).

Easy instruction for painting beautiful watercolor flowers,
By A Customer
This review is from: Painting Flowers in Watercolor with Louise Jackson (Decorative Painting) (Paperback)
If you are interested in painting watercolor flowers, and you are beginning or intermediate painter, this book is a must. The instructions are very easy to follow, and the illustrations are beautiful, as will be your painting if you follow the instructions. I looked at at least 6 other books on painting watercolor flowers, but chose this one because of the ease of the instructions. I highly recommend this book. Please note: as a beginner, I am choosy because many art instruction books are simply over my head at this stage. This one is not, but will make you feel like a professional artist. I hope that the author publishes a second book, and makes this a series!

Start here if you are a beginning watercolor flower painter,
By Florence Adar (Tel Aviv Israel) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Painting Flowers in Watercolor with Louise Jackson (Decorative Painting) (Paperback)
It was sheer luck that I picked up this book. I had finished stenciling all my walls, all the wood in my house and was looking for a way to continue when I picked up this wonderful book. It's perfect for a beginner. I loved it and every painting lesson in it. She's clear, she goes at the reader's pace. This isn't for advanced artists or even hobbyists in watercolor of long standing, but it got me into the wonderful world of watercolor painting, a medium I had never tried. Jackson should write more books and give more advanced lessons. Great book.
