5.0 out of 5 stars Roses - Simple to Complicated, April 3, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Painting Roses with Deanne Fortnam (Decorative Painting) (Paperback)

In this beautifully illustrated book Deanne Fortnam teaches you to paint in very clear steps simple naive style roses and more complicated realistic roses incorporated into lovely projects. A good book for beginners as well as more advanced students of decorative painting. The teaching techniques are clearly explained and easy to follow and the color illustrations are exquisite. I recommend this bok highly for all who love decorative painting.
