Riassunto

The new What to Paint series is perfect for intermediate and experienced painters looking for inspiring subjects. Each book has 24 stunning full-page projects, a color palette for each, and informative captions showcasing the details and techniques used in various sections of the painting. Also included are free tracings of each painting for ease of transfer to watercolor paper as are instructions on selecting parts of the outlines to create new compositions.

Renowned flower painter Wendy Tait provides beautiful displays of many popular flower varieties including tulips, daffodils and anemones, snake’s head fritillary, a posy of spring flowers, fuchsias, cherry blossom in a jar, oriental poppies, and many roses. Informative notes on details from each finished painting allow artists to reproduce the scenes with confidence.

Recensione

Given that this is only the second title in this series, full marks to Wendy for subverting it already. Not so much because I always rather admire a rebel but because it means that the format is already being opened up and that can't be a bad thing if it's not to become formulaic. It's immediately apparent that the outlines which are (so far) a feature of the series are here really only a jumping-off point and that Wendy has introduced a great deal more subtlety than is possible in a fill-in-the-tracings approach. In fact what she provides, through a series of simple and simply explained examples, is one of the most thorough-going primers in flower painting around. There's a good variety of flower types, some very handy notes on colour mixing for this style of painting and basic captions that tell you how the main elements of the composition were handled. Beyond that, it's up to you, but Wendy provides so much of the basics that you should be able to fly solo without much difficulty.-Artbookreview.net --Artbookreview.net
