Tulips in Watercolour Search Press The ever-growing Ready To Paint series now has a third floral title, and the second by this artist. This time it is the turn of one of my own favorite flowers the tulip. As usual, this book starts with a short section
on what to buy and why. It is always a good idea to tell readers
why you need an item, and this book does just that, so you don·t
ever feel you are being made to buy something you won·t often
need. Find out what brushes are best, notes on choosing paper, the
color paints for these paintings and a few other ordinary items
(not very many). Again, there is in inevitable short section on
how to transfer the tracings, and then the projects start. There
are five plus one extra one where you don·t get the instructions,
but after such exhaustive illustrated instructions, you will be
more than ready. These are studies of tulips, from large close-ups
to many blooms in a vase. The five are shown on the back that cover
several colors and varieties of tulip in various settings. Each
project is described in at least thirty illustrated steps, each
one showing what new detail has been added and how to do it. You
can·t go wrong with this, and it is surely the best way of
learning to paint ever. Even better, once you have finished your
work you don·t have to hide it away · upload it to
the Ready To Paint page on Facebook and everybody can see it! |
