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

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!

One of the best watercolor books I’ve used. It offer clear concise step by step instructions for the flowers. So very easy to follow. I enjoy that the flowers aren’t the standard flowers we always see. They are interesting, diverse and fun. Lots of purple/blue color flowers if that interests you. I got the spiral bound one and it’s worth it for me because it can lie flat next to me while I paint.

A lovely book.

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

This is a beautiful book on watercolor flowers. Very good info and easy to follow. I am very happy with this book.

Great workbook. Easy to follow. Relaxing to paint for beginners and non- beginners. Uses decent quality watercolor paper and limited palettes for each project.

I am a beginning watercolor painter who never enjoyed painting flowers until I used this book. I first saw the book promoted on the author's instagram feed where the loose style and clear bright vibrant colors drew me in immediately. I ordered the book thinking if I didn't like painting the flowers, at least it would be a wonderful wildflower reference book to own. I enjoyed painting the first flower so much, however, that I've decided to work my way through the entire book, painting one flower each day. What I like: I like that the flowers are not so detailed that, as a beginner, I would get bored painting many layers or frustrated with possibly muddying the colors. Most flowers require 3-4 colors with clear quick and easy mixing and consistency instructions, and it's easy to get the clear bright colors seen in the photographs. I also like that only a small portion of the book is used for the supplies and techniques, while most of the book is made up of actual flowers and instruction for that flower. I like that the author lists with each flower the page number where a relevant technique can be referenced, so it can be quickly reviewed before or during painting. The breakdown of instruction into clear well-organized numbered and illustrated steps makes painting these flowers easy and really fun. It will be so satisfying to watch my sketchbook fill up with these pretty flowers. As someone who didn't enjoy painting flowers, I'm glad I took a chance on this beautiful book. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys watercolors.

I'm so excited to start using this book. Each wildflower is beautifully presented and dissected with an easy step by step process to follow on how to build the flower portrait of each. There is lots of useful information at the beginning of the book on supplies needed, various brushstrokes/techniques to practise. So glad I've found this book, as it's perfect for my needs. What would make it uber perfect for me would be if it was spiral bound so that the pages could lay flat but that in no way detracts from the quality of this brilliant book. Highly recommended if you want to learn how to paint wildflowers or even if you just want a lovely book full of colourful, watercolour flowers to look through.

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.
