Painting Fresh Florals in Watercolor by Arleta Pech (1998, Hardcover)

Artleta Pech's artwork is gorgeous, and she generously shares her watercolor techniques with us in step-by-step demonstrations. She focuses on still life painting and her subjects include flowers, lace, and china. Her roses are my favorite. I love this book!

Great examples of the author's work which show great attention to detail, use of light and white paper, and a step-by-step method for achieving such results. Good for working on improvement in still lifes and realistic paintings.

MY HUSBAND LOST THIS BOOK AND JUST HAD A FIT ABOUT NOT FINDING IT. SO, I WAS VERY LUCKY TO FIND IT ON EBAY. HE LOVES IT. HE THINKS IT IS ABOUT THE BEST BOOK HE HAS EVER HAD IN WATERCOLOR.

This is my VERY FAVORITE watercolor book for florals. (Then,I even purchased her video just to watch her in action!) I recommend both even for the beginner!!!!

I had an opportunity to quickly 'scan' the photos in this book at a friends home and felt this was the method of watercolor I had been seeking, but had been unable to find an instructor who would teach me. The technique, the results, the instructions, and Ms. Pech's ability to simplify each step in her process of painting florals is wonderful and easy to follow with wonderful results. This is a MUST HAVE book for anyone wanting to paint realistic, beautiful florals with step by step instructions which are applicable to any floral.
