Painting Flowers the Van Wyk Way - Helen Van Wyk

With step-by-step instructions and examples of the author's work, she breaks down floral anatomy into manageable shapes and lines that artists of all abilities can master. The book is divided into two sections: Section 1: Materials and the theory side of composition, tone values, color dimension, and the physical characteristics of the paint. Section 2: Painting sessions, which include 10 practical demonstrations with step-by-step progression techniques. These sessions focus on: *Seeing flowers in mass tones, *The importance of overlapping, *The intricacies of glazing over a monochrome, * The use of complementary colors, and * Color mixtures for flowers that most painters want to interpret on canvas.

Stunning color photos are featured throughout the book.
