Tecla Garcia said Paint Beautiful Flowers. Beautiful quality images of flowers for learning how to paint with oils/acrylics. Very good sequential instructions. This book helped improve my flowers markedly.. "Borrow don't buy" according to Brandon Henrie. Overall I found this a delightful picture book for an advanced student. I found it more informative regarding flower nomenclature than I did painting. I recommend Basic Flower Painting Techniques in Watercolor (Basic Techniques Series). I realize that watercolor and acrylic are different mediums, but the technical descriptions are far more effective, informative, and educational. Wish I would have borrowed this from a library rather than add it to my own.. "Painting" according to sassyorange. I have a flower garden and love to paint. Now I will be able to paint my flowers and be proud of my work. Easy to understand and follow. I am in Mn., so I have not been able to set up outside to paint yet. I am looking forward to it though. I have some beautiful Rock Star bearded iris's I want to paint. Purple and yellow in color. They are also huge. It will be a while before they bloom.
