New Botanical Painting

I'm very excited about de Winton's new book; New Botanical Painting. It's beautifully laid out, with easy to follow instructions for painting all kinds of flowers and plants. I love how she breaks things down, shows you how to mix colors, and makes it all very fun and non-intimidating. I've already tried several lessons and am excited to keep going and try them all! The author also has a wonderful Instagram account, where she has lots of tutorials and paint-alongs. I love her loose, modern botanical style, and her easy and encouraging approach. Highly recommend!

New Botanical Painting is a beautiful book. My order was for a used book in good condition. I received a new book, signed by the author. Filled with contemporary watercolor artworks and more than 30 step-by-step projects...beautifully illustrated; I am excited to learn from the UK's, Harriet De Winton. Would definitely recommend her book.

Love watching this author on YT!!! I've learned a ton! This book is simple to follow and has helped me to greatly improve my watercolor skills.

Harriet gives great straightforward directions in how to do some botanical painting. While not super detailed there is sufficient detail to get good results. She also has a You Tube channel that offers similar projects. There are enough projects to keep you busy with a lot paintings and then grow from there.

I have a few watercolor books to use as reminders and references. I love how Harriet goes through steps in both photos and description to teach the flowers. However, the reason I gave it 4 stars is because some of the photos are so small that I can't quite make out what she is doing. Maybe it's my eyesight? :-) But I think it's worth owning if you're newer, or just want to learn and have a reference for the different florals.

If you want to learn watercolor painting, Harriet de Winton is the best artist and teacher that you can have. She has a lovely style that is going to inspire you to keep learning. I love her books! Carina

I have several watercolor books and so far this one is my favorite. My picture shows the first three projects in the book that I completed in one night. I’m a newbie to watercolor and I very much appreciate the instructions for larger flowers along with instructions for a smaller version. Following the instructions in the book was the first time I’ve ever been able to paint a rose that I felt looked like a rose. That alone is worth the pace of the book! I would say once you have the basics of watercolor down this book will show you how to paint several flowers and leaves, etc…and even more than one variation of each. I’m very happy with my purchase.

Love this book. The material is so true to life.

Des pas à pas très bien illustrés. Exactement ce que j'attendais de ce livre, réussir à peindre de belles fleurs à l'aquarelle.

جميل حببته

Questo Libro è il primo della serie che l'autrice ha scritto sull'argomento, è molto chiaro e le immagini sono meravigliose! Peccato che non abbiano ancora fatto la versione in Italiano

This book is great and inspires. It can definately be used by beginners. Good variety of projects to paint. Some useful tips on "basic brush strokes"

A true watercolour book. It shows you how to paint very beautiful translucent flowers and foliage. Simple, but realistic and very effective. Not too many layers which is perfect for flowers. Good advice on simple brush techniques. Step by steps that anyone can achieve. It's how watercolour should be - simple, free flowing and fun.
