Tulips in Watercolour (Ready to Paint the Masters)

I have about four of these "Ready to Paint" books and they are all great. Beautiful drawings, beautiful color photos, step by step instructions with photos of each step.The only problem I have with them, that I think most newbie or hobby painters might also have, is that the drawings are huge! It's quite daunting to paint something so large when you're learning about watercolor.I found a great solution, though. I removed the line drawings and took them to Staples and had them all reduced to a 5 x 7 size. That cost about $ .10 each!Now I have a much more manageable size to paint, put in a nice color mat, and be able to easily mail them to friends for gifts.If the large size scares you or doesn't come out the way you want, try reducing the size. Watercolor is much simpler when you start small.Liz

This book contains easy to follow instructions and patterns for tracing. I think it's perfect for the beginning watercolorist or anyone who just wants to get to painting and doesn't care to or have the skill to draw their own pictures. I would prefer smaller sized tracing patterns and instructions for mixing color rather than long lists of recommended colors to purchase.

I can't wait to get started painting.I am not an artist so this method is quite simple .I have used another one of her books.The instructions are easy to followI am enjoying to water painting as it is very forgiving and relaxingThere are so many pictures to choose from.I was pleasantly surprised

I have a few of these books.and love them.they have the patterns printed out inside so all you have to do is lay it on y our watercolor paper and trace it..then it shows you how you can paint them....they are wonderful teaching aids.

I have enjoyed using this as a reference, it is helping me to "loosen up" my style.

Beautiful book, very helpful!

i love Fiona's style - it's so free and unincumbered. The colors are just so soothing but vibrant.

This book has some beautiful tulip paintings in it. I did not realize it had tracing paper in it instead of how to draw and paint.

I love this book however it isn't easy to do at all I shall keep trying

Fiona Peart is an amazing artist and teacher. Beautiful colourful tulips easy to paint. The book is very helpful for beginners with easy to understand techniques

A wonderful reference book for painting Tulips. Gorgeous examples of painted Tulips with instruction if you find you need help in the drawing of the Tulips, etc.A keeper if you are into painting some nice Tulips.

LOVE IT! TRULY A BOOK TO INSPIRE THE ARTIST, IT SITS HERE ON MY CREATIVE TABLE WAITING FOR ME TO PICK UP THE BRUSH BUT I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!

Great book
