Flower Painting Through The Seasons by Ann Blockley

Flower Painting Through The Seasons by Ann Blockley

This beautifully illustrated practical guide provides a year-long course in watercolour flower painting. Suitable for artists of all skill levels, it contains both step-by-step demonstrations and more challenging projects. The book is divided into monthly chapters, revealing that the quieter seasons of autumn and winter offer just as many flower painting possibilities as the busy spring and summer months. Each chapter contains one full step-by-step demonstration plus several projects relevant to the time of year. Some of these are quite simple, but others are more ambitious and offer alternative ideas for subsequent painting sessions and different levels of expertise. The range of seasonal subjects covered, with their varying colours, includes blossoms, seedheads, fruits, berries and foliage, from the hedgerow, orchard, vegetable garden and conservatory as well as the garden. Ann Blockley is particularly well known for her flower paintings and this book is a real visual treat, as well as an inspirational guide to the practical aspects of painting flowers in watercolour.

Ann Blockley is a well-known watercolour artist and teacher whose work is inspired by the countryside of the Cotswolds. Her paintings can be found in collections throughout the world, and she holds regular exhibitions of her work. She runs very popular watercolour courses and workshops, is the author of several books on painting, and has made two painting DVDs. She also writes regularly for Leisure Painter magazine.
