Painting Your Garden: The English Garden in Oils and Watercolours

An inspiring book which marries the interests of artists and lovers of the English garden
 
A garden offers a haven to be enjoyed and savored; it also provides ample subjects for the artist. This beautiful book will help readers to see their gardens in a new light and to enjoy them in a new way. Using a step-by-step approach, it deals with the more intimate aspects of a garden as well as the broader views, and covers a range of approaches to painting in oils and watercolor. It covers in detail such topics as painting flowers, fruits, and vegetables; adding figures, birds, and animals; looking at garden details and scenes; capturing the seasons and water; and developing a looser approach.
