Flower Color Guide Paperback – October 1, 2018

How not love this Flower Color Guide? This book is fantastic! very practical, small, but convenient. Have a cut of flowers sheets on the back, so cute, the image of each flower and the information about them. it's perfect! What I would like to have on this book, is for each color, a sheet with the color name on it. For example, on white flowers, at the front of it, a sheet with the name "white" and for the other colors flowers too. This is my humble opinion.

I love painting flowers in both watercolor and acrylics and I have found this book to be a great art reference. Each flower is beautifully photographed and artfully arranged on the page.

This book was recommended by an artist to help me learn how to paint flowers. So glad I purchased it. I am a beginning painter and it really was useful in helping me create beautiful watercolor paintings.Loved being able to identify more flowers too! Well designed book. Loved it!

This is a very good book for artists. It provides many accurate photos of flowers in different colors, which are very helpful when drawing and painting, and when you need accurate representations in your art projects.

The jacket on my book also was not perfect. In fact, I prefer hardbound books. In this case, maybe even spiral bound would be good do it could lay flat. I haven’t really figured out the reason for the stickers. I suppose if you separate them individually you can play “let’s make an arrangement. I suppose that would also work for a painter which I am. The book does have a wide variety of flowers. If you want to paint, you will get a good idea as to your page layout. The flowers are all arranged on the pages beautifully; artfully. Many have unusual twists and turns with a nod to the well known floral designers Taylor and Michael Putnam. I knew absolutely nothing about them before this book!So to sum up, if you are looking for the closeup intricacies of flowers for painting, forget it. This book will be great to get a general idea of what type of flower you would like to paint. If you however strive for a very realistic and detailed painting, you will have to look online. You can use this for the basic elements and for laying out a beautifully designed page and then either use the real live subject or look online.Let’s suppose you just want flowers for your house or you want to accurately describe what you would like your florist to create. Well, in that case, this book will be your best friend. Many in my area prefer white Phalaenopsis orchids to practically anything!

This is tiny, but it is beautiful. I’m so sorry. I forgot that I’m a senior citizen because I need a magnifying glass! But the information is great.

Using it for reference in watercolor art

As a watercolor artist and gardener I will use this book endlessly. The photos are beautiful and I will also enjoy just thumbing through for a breath of springtime anytime. Lovely gift to myself!
