A wonderfully evocative vintage art instruction volume devoted entirely to flowers.

Featuring painterly demonstrations, colour studies, drawing exercises and floral compositions, this issue captures the optimistic creativity of mid-century art education. The cover alone is a delight, with its loose impressionistic bouquet in soft pinks, yellows and olive greens.

Inside are step-by-step painting guides, colour mixing examples, botanical studies and beautifully reproduced floral artworks. Equally appealing as a reference for artists, a source of collage material, or simply as a decorative addition to a studio bookshelf.

A lovely piece for painters, journal makers, flower lovers and collectors of vintage art books.
