- Poppies, plantains, elderberries, chamomile, wild roses These are just a few of the wildflowers that we come across in our gardens or during walks. For the watercolourist, however, their translucent petals and subtle hues are irresistible. In this inspiring how-to book, Gaëtane Nicoulin, a passionate watercolourist and lover of nature, teaches us how to recognise and paint wildflowers, providing readers with the watercolour techniques we need to paint flowers that grow naturally in fields and meadows. The author invites us to go out and encounter these flowers ourselves, sharpening our observation and interpretation skills and developing our own style. A valuable resource for artists at all levels, the book includes a step-by-step study of 20 plants and 5 detailed projects for creating floral compositions, in addition to specific painting techniques and tips. Gaëtanes approach to flowers is also a celebration of the untamed nature that surrounds us, inviting us to observe and to depict wildflowers in simplified versions which capture their essence. In addition to encouraging us to engage in a more contemplative kind of painting, the book also offers recipes involving berries and flowers that teach us how to identify and enjoy the many benefits of nature.
