Ready to Paint in 30 Minutes: Flowers in Watercolour

A brand-new series aimed at helping novice painters hone their skills in thirty-minute periods.

Ready to Paint in 30 Minutes: Flowers guides the reader through crucial watercolor techniques for representing flowers, such as layering, blending, negative painting, and capturing the unique shapes and markings of flowers. The studies of these skills should only take half an hour each, so can be fit into a busy day.

Each of the 35 30-minute lesson builds up skills that will later come in useful when creating three beautiful, full paintings depicting flowers in different contexts—in a landscape, in a vase, or on a trellis. However, the projects themselves also form unique, standalone paintings in a 6 x 4 sketchpad format, of which the artist can be proud as they build up their skillset in watercolor.

The variety of flowers and details to paint is just as great: from poppies to pansies, seed heads to stamens.

All the artist needs is basic equipment and a thirty-minute time slot in which to create a miniature masterpiece.

O serie nou-nouta, menita sa ajute pictorii incepatori sa-si perfectioneze abilitatile in perioade de treizeci de minute. Gata sa picteze in 30 de minute: Florile ghideaza cititorul prin tehnici cruciale de acuarela pentru reprezentarea florilor, cum ar fi stratificarea, amestecarea, pictura negativa si captarea forme si marcaje unice ale florilor. Studiile acestor abilitati ar trebui sa dureze doar o jumatate de ora fiecare, deci pot fi incadrate intr-o zi aglomerata. Fiecare dintre cele 35 de lectii de 30 de minute dezvolta abilitati care vor deveni mai utile atunci cand se creeaza trei picturi frumoase, complete, reprezentand flori in diferite contexte - intr-un peisaj, intr-o vaza sau pe un spalier.
