Items related to Painting Flowers in Watercolour: A Naturalistic Approach
Painting flowers has long been popular with artists, and there have been many books written on the subject. What makes this book different is the author's naturalistic approach to painting. The resulting watercolors are botanically correct but also show the beauty of flowers in a very real way---the velvety quality of a petal, the delicate colors, the gloss of a leaf. In this book, Coral G. Guest talks about how best to achieve not only the colors but also the textures and shadings that are so important in painting flowers. She has chosen a wide variety of plants, and in a series of illustrations shows how---step by step---she has developed each painting. The result is a most inspirational and stunning guide for any artist wanting to make his or her paintings look more natural.

Book Description:
The watercolors created using this naturalistic approach are botanically correct but also show the beauty of flowers in a very real way-the velvety quality of a petal, the delicate colors, the gloss of a leaf.
About the Author:
Coral G. Guest is an acclaimed flower painter whose work combines botanical authenticity with a highly appealing artistic style. Her classical training as a painter at Chelsea School of Art, London was followed by the practice of Zen Calligraphy at Seitai-Ji Temple in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan. She first embarked upon a series of flower pictures in the mid 1980s as part of her meditations on nature. She considers the study of plants to be a worthy subject for a contemporary painter, and has conducted her highly successful courses on naturalistic flower painting at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, for a number of years. She has received numerous awards (including two RHS Gold Medals), frequently lectures, and has written for various magazines. Her work is shown internationally, and is represented in many public and private collections, including the Royal Horticultural Society, Lindley Library; the Dr Shirley Sherwood Collection of Contemporary Botanical Art; and the Hunt Botanical Institute.
