FLOWER COLOR THEORY

Love this gorgeous little book for practicing painting flowers with. It's small size suits me as I can leave this on my art desk without being in the way.

Like their earlier book, this book has a jacket and is printed on good thick semi-glossy paper. It measures approximately 12.8 by 18 by 3.2 cm. The photographs are clear, with bright vivid colours. The pages are a pure white. The flower arrangements are unique in that there is a gradual progression of colours in each arrangement, from one end to the other, instead of the usual “polka-dot” style. The colour palette is given on the left side of each page, with most arrangements spread over 2 pages. There are 175 arrangements, with those of similar palettes grouped near one another. There are just a few pages to explain colour theory basics, colour schemes, useful tips, etc. The last few pages consist of removable strips containing photographs of each arrangement, together with the corresponding swatches and other information. Personally, I am slightly put off when the flower arrangement goes over the central divider of each double spread but overall, it is still a very worthwhile book to have.
