Book Description

Paint 16 contemporary, expressive watercolour flower projects with artist and print designer Natasha Gulliford, founder of her own popular online school (natashagulliford.com).

Build your skills and confidence throughout the seasons and learn how to follow your own creative intuition for confident, wall-worthy compositions of your own.

This gorgeous hardback book:

  • Is perfect for complete beginners upwards; it's ideal for those wanting a grounding in watercolour technique, or for more experienced painters looking to inject confidence into their work.  
  • Contains simple introductory tutorials on all the key skills you need, including brushstrokes, blending, layering and negative space.  
  • Shows you how to use either watercolour paint or watercolour ink, for vivid colour and fabulous results, and no drawing is needed before you lay down your paints.
  • Features 16 seasonally structured step-by-step projects: each of the four seasons features 4 projects: a single flower, two simple compositions, and then then a larger multi-flower composition.
  • Contains a host of floral favourites, including roses, hydrangeas, anemones and tulips.
  • Also contains a gallery of Natasha’s mouthwatering watercolour artworks for inspiration.

Learn how to think intuitively, loosen up and create confident compositions of your own.
