B3334. 100 Flowers / Yang O-shi
100 Flowers: Chinese Techniques for Painting Flowers by Yang O-shi. 240pp. 8.25"x12". Paper

Victoria Pittman has taught a popular flower painting class for many years at the summer calligraphy conference. Her flowers are made with a few strokes - ideal for envelopes, cards and small calligraphic pieces. As a resource for that class, she highly recommends this book: "This is a particularly good book, with many great examples and great illustrations." It provides sequential steps for painting 100 different flowers, from simple to fairly complex, along with finished paintings. Does not cover the basics of watercolor, just painting these flowers.

Acrylic can mimic oil paint, watercolor, gouache, and encaustic; it can be applied in subtle transparent washes or troweled as a heavy thick impasto; it can be as transparent as glass or as dense and black as tar. Covers the most popular techniques for acrylic, making them accessible through a variety of mini-demonstrations followed by full demonstrations that show how to transform those techniques into finished paintings.
