Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal
Harrison-Tustain is a highly successful New Zealand floral artist who produces breathtaking blossoms in a style that is, at once, realistic and sumptuously expressive. Here she offers three complete step-by-step projects and 14 mini-demonstrations. Those more interested in a decorative arts approach should see Painting Flowers in Watercolor with Louise Jackson (North Light, 1997).

Product Description
With a seductive painting style described as "realism with a soul," Susan Harrison-Tustain casts new light on a favourite subject among watercolourists. She captures the "essence" of her flowers in their natural settings, complete with bumblebees, dew drops, and other whimsical touches of life. Artists will learn her unique priming method, along with other techniques for creating vibrant colours, realistic textures and lively light. There are three complete step-by-step painting demonstrations and 14 mini-demos.

5.0 out of 5 stars Glorious Garden Folowers in Watercolour, April 1, 2000
By Diana v Bennett "robbieb@vision.net.au" (Deloraine, Tasmania Australia) - See all my reviews
I have always wanted to paint, specifically watercolours. I have have participated in classes but never really felt confident enough to move on. I purchased Susan Harrison-Tustain's book and was overwhelmed by the images I found within. Now I am working through the excercises and although previously my attempts were pretty rugged now they are not so rugged. I found the book so inspiring and easy to follow that my confidence has now improved greatly.

4.0 out of 5 stars Harrison-Tustain/ Best flowers I've ever seen, December 22, 1999
By L. Watson (Tenneessee, USA) - See all my reviews
When I show a friend Susan's book they can hardly believe it is in watercolor. Her flowers, leaves and backgrounds are exceptionally vivid and robust. There are a few step-by-steps in it but not enough for a beginner. I hope her next book will have more steps to each picture. I feel confident we will see more from her - if she's willing. This has inspired me more than any other watercolor book. And, I liked almost all the pictures in it enough to try myself, which is alot more than I can say for any other watercolor book I've ever found! Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Glorious Feast for the Eyes for the Painter and Non-Painter, November 17, 1999
By A Customer
From the time I saw the first cover shot in a North Light flyer, I knew I MUST own this book! I have many floral watercolor books, but if I had to give them all up and keep only 1 -- this would be THE book. The breathtaking pictures (thanks to Susan) and the incredible color reproduction (thanks to North Light books) makes this book a feast for the eyes and the soul! The method of instruction that breaks down Susan's artistic process step-by-step make this book one of the most information-packed I've read. Susan is not stingy sharing her techniques-- but pictures this gorgeous are really only about 10% technique and 110% divine inspiration. Keep them coming, Susan! I too would love to see a video come out.
