Not a primary resource,
Even after I read the dimensions regarding this little book, I was still surprised at how small it is. Because it’s titled the Watercolor Flower Artist’s Bible, I expected more information on painting watercolor flowers. It’s a spiral bound book divided into color sections which shows a list of small watercolor examples of the most common flowers. There are also some nice examples of other watercolor artists work. I want to reiterate that the book is very small, which means that the pictures are small. This book could really just be used a pocket or travel guide to use for a particular flower’s general shape or color but not one to study specific features of any flower.

|Lots of flowers,
This is a handy little spiral bound book. The first 45 pages go into the usual watercolor materials/techniques, but that is followed by a short section called “studying flower shapes” which shows you how to draw the flowers based on their shapes. Then the rest of the book is dedicated to painting more than 100 different flowers, arranged by color, demonstrated in 3-4 steps. Basically short and to the point with a few pages of beautiful paintings by artists thrown in for inspiration. Very nice for an on-the-go flower painter.

|Watercolor Artist’s Flower Bible,
This is a wonderful little book, just the perfect size does not take up a lot of room on my work table. I loved it and spent a lot of money before I finally came across exactly the Flower painting book I wsas looking for. If you are wanting to disect flowers before you paint them, the book for you would be looking for is The Art of Plant Evolution. However if you want a good solid book on nothing but painting flowers then the Watercolor Artist’s Flower Bible is the book you want.
It get’s right to the point of sketching and painting flowers, it does not go into other paintings that I am not interest in, or books that I probably already purchased that tend to make one believe you are getting good sketching and watercoloring of flowers tedchniques, books that I have purchased that totally missed the point. I have truly spent a fortune on books regarding painting flowerss etc., and almost all of them have been a disapointment.
This wonderful little book goes right into “flowers” and after my first hour of sitting down sketching and painting flowers I am thrilled with the results.
Claire Waite Brown does a great job showing how the most ususal color combinations really do produce some beautiful flowers.
Before you spend another cent I hope you will save your money and make this Book your number one with learning to paint and sketch flowers. There are lots and lots of color choices that I loved and I produced some great finished results.
The illustrations are wonderful in a step by step sketch/watercolor, the print of this book is nice and dark, unlike a book I ordered earlier this week and can hardly read the print, the color combo’s are wonderful, and there are lots and lots of pretty flowers in this book to whip up in no time. The pictures in this book are not sloppy with color running into color, page after page of the same thing.
I feel comfortable recommending it for purchase, I love the book. I hope you will enjoy it too!
