Wildflower Watercolor: The Beginner’s Guide to Painting Beautiful Florals

This is a great, easy to use guide to painting a variety of wildflowers using watercolors. I’ve only tried a couple so far but this book definitely made it easy! I’m looking forward to spending more time with it and trying some of the other flowers soon.

The best book I've seen about creating watercolor flowers. Not only is every flower explained and illustrated step by step but also the author includes the flower in a larger composition. That's a very good idea. We learn how to paint the flower and also how to make a painting with it. It's important to learn the composition at a larger scale, what greenery to include and how to distribute flowers and greenery in a painting. Beautiful flowers and beautiful paintings with them. She includes what brushes and watercolor paints to use with every example, and that's very helpful. Beautiful pictures, and a very good structure for the book, which has about 140 something pages. I'm very pleased with this book. My deepest gratitude to the author.

Book itself is beautiful! Plentiful examples, color recommendations, and step by step process has made this my favorite watercolor book to learn from!

This is the best book I have found for painting wildflowers. The author explains exactly how to hold the brush and what to do to make beautiful strokes on your paper. If you are a beginning watercolor artist, you cannot go wrong by purchasing this beautiful book.

A lovely book.

I found this book easy to follow and really enjoyable! I’ve never painted before, but needed a new hobby and I decided to start with watercolor. If you follow the instructions and actually read the directions you will get a beautiful result!

This is a wonderful watercolor book. It is colorful, easy to follow, and has a great selection of.

Highly recommend. I have quite a few watercolor books now. I think this one applies to more than just painting flowers. The author does a really great job of talking about how to use watercolors and brushes. I really like the fact that she talks about how to use brush strokes. There's a ton of great detail in the beginning of the book. And then she breaks down flour by flower. It's a really great book. Even if you don't want to paint flowers, I think this is a great instructional book. If you do want to pay flowers, I think it's a must.

I've been scared of art ever since my art teacher in first year at secondary school (25 years ago) decided to use me as an example to the class of how not to draw, he actually excused me from his future classes as he didn't see the point of me being there. With my partner's encouragement and the use of this amazing book I was able to produce this picture. The book really is amazing, the first section is a step by step of techniques that will be needed for each project like brush strokes, colour mixing and lots more, there are oodles of photos to match each section of each lesson. The next section of the book goes on to each individual project, these project have art least 2-3 pages of photos and often make reference to the earlier technical lessons that may be of use. I really can't give enough praise to this book and more importantly the Author/Artist, Sushma Hedge, she has gotten me over my phobia of expressing my self with paint!

Esse livro é maravilhoso! As aquarelas são lindas e os projetos são inspiradores, ótimos para quando queremos aquarelar alguma coisa rápida, mas não sabemos bem o quê. É relaxante e revigorante! A autora começa com dicas básicas sobre materiais e mistura de cores, depois passa para lições sobre as pinceladas que serão utilizadas nas páginas seguintes. Então, seguem várias páginas ensinando bem detalhadamente a como pintar de forma leve e simples ervas e flores silvestres. Vale muito a pena! Está em inglês, mas é de fácil compreensão.

A few weeks ago, I got another watercolor book, but I found it a bit too advanced for beginners. Even after following it for a week or two, I still felt unsure about how to start painting. So, I began looking for other options.I’ve always loved the artist’s style, and when I found this new book, it immediately stood out—it’s simple, detailed, and perfect for beginners. By just my second practice session, I already noticed a big improvement, especially in how I paint leaves. I really appreciate how clearly the content is laid out. It gave me practical ideas on how to practice, which is exactly what beginners need. I highly recommend it for anyone with zero watercolor experience.

Clear, no nonsense or frastrating reminiscence, easy instructions and step-by-step illustrations

I have been trying different courses and tutorials to learn how to do floral watercolors. Out of everything I have tried, this book is by far the best. It is so easy yet comprehensive and clear. I have been able to do beautiful paintings with the aid of this book, and I can feel myself growing more and more as an artist the more flowers I try from the book. The author's work is amazing and I thank her so much for putting this together.
