Flowers A to Z With Donna Dewberry: More Than 50 Beautiful Blooms You Can Paint

Rating:
Summary: Excellent selection of various flowers and how to paint them
Review: Dewberry offers a wide variety of one-stroke flowers to paint using clear instructions. The real beauty using her painting method is the lack of "must do" instructions. Instead, the author gives clear directions on how to make nifty decorative flowers that are easily painted without patterns. A good read for the novice decorative painter like me.

Summary: Flowers A to Z Donna Dewberry
Review: I have several Donna Dewberry books. I would have to say this book is not her best showing. Directions were very poor for a new painter. Finished photos of poor quality. Thumbs down on this one.

Summary: My Favorite Donna Dewberrry book yet
Review: I loved the layout of this book. The first 2 chapters explain the brushes and basic painting techniques with very clear pictures. The third chapter shows you color blocks of the paint used in the book. This is very helpful if you need to match a different brand of paint. The A to Z flower projects are shown close up so the detail really shows and each project has step by step photo's of Donna building the flowers. I loved the example pages of filler flowers and shadow leaves. But the last part of the book on Floral Design and Composition is especially helpful to any who struggle with placement and design.
