Siriol Sherlock’s techniques for captu
ring flowers and plants are beautifully simple—yet they yield remarkable results that earned her the 2005 Artists Choice Award. More than 150 stunning fine-art illustrations of both finished works and key stages of the painting appear throughout this exquisite guide, illuminating the instructions. All the various materials are covered, along with traditional and experimental techniques for painting wet-on-wet, captu
ring color and form, and adding finishing touches. Examine the details that go into depicting foliage and fruit, flowers in context, single stems, multistem arrangements, and even leaves and branches. The flowers bursting forth in beauty on the page range from tropical blossoms to a brilliant poppy.

Don't be deceived
This is a great book but it is the paperback version of ISBN 071348862X. The picture on the cover is different, but otherwise it is the same book.
I read a review which indicated this was a new book by Siriol Sherlock and was very disappointed.

A great reference for artists.
Very precise, beautiful colorations. A great addition to my artist's reference library.

Excellent introduction to the subject
This is a first class book. There are clear illustrations on various aspects of the art and several projects that can be followed. I would recommend this book to a non-beginner as I am sure that if you had no experience the techniques she uses would be a little daunting.
