Painterly Days Flowers

Description

A book of 25 floral sketches printed on lovely watercolour paper invites artistic experimentation with only a brush and paint. Each page is double-sided, offering the opportunity to paint the same page in different ways. The author shares painting tips for each sketch and advice for discovering the artist within. Also included is a painting tutorial and handy colour wheel. Each book is small enough to carry anywhere and simple to use. Creativity is an escape, and this book offers a delightful way to make art regardless of skill level. AUTHOR: Kristy Rice is a trailblazer of hand-painted wedding stationery. Her company, Momental Designs, garners attention from wedding publications and celebrity couples worldwide. Her artwork has also been used in well-known brands such as Envelopments (R), Papyrus, and BHLDN. 25 floral patterns

Kristy Rice wears many hats: entrepreneur, mama, author, celebrity invitation designer, and stylist, but her first love is painting. She is also the author of many other books, card sets, and more.

First of all, the book itself is beautiful, they do say dont judge a book by its cover but here, please do! The pages are easily removed but dont fall out on their own spontaneously so thats also very good. Each of the designs is printed twice, on both sides of the page. So if you muck up one, you still have a second go at it. the linework is not black, it will blend beautifully into your paint and will look like a light sketch underneath, if it shows at all. Its really quite liberating. Its really good for beginners really, it forgives a lot, you can make mistakes and have them looking cool in the end. The paper is gorgeous, its 90 lbs so not the thickest watercolor paper out there but it takes water beautifully. Overall, I love this book! it would be great for any watercolorist, specially beginners. - Iris Eenmae, thecoloringaddict.com Dec 2016 If you're not sure how to start, see this lovely example from thecoloringaddict.com !
