Product Description

From Library Journal

While most books on flower painting approach the subject as still life, this one places flowers in the larger context of landscape. The season, climate, light, mood, and perspective of landscape make flower painting infinitely more variable and complex. Bays, a successful painter, illustrator, and teacher in England, paints lilies in a home garden, wild roses in a hedgerow, and flowers along rivers and at the seashore. Her book is an example of another trend in art publishing, the appropriation of British publications for the American market. The quality of such books is generally excellent but, as in this case, the landscape, architecture, and gardens are decidedly British: Virginia creeper draping over a New England stone wall isn't part of the picture. Nevertheless, this is a fine book, written in fluid, readable style.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally... good GREENS!, Jun 2 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Flowers in the Landscape (Hardcover)
This book has been a godsend. I have been trying for some time to paint good solid greens in three values. Jill's book has given me the colors that WORK. Now I can mix light, medium or dark greens as I need! This book is great for those wanting to start painting from real life, whether it be from a still life in your studio, your garden in your backyard, or on top of a hill overlooking a vista. Good plein air techniques including design and compostion and how to BEGIN. This is not just a book on painting flowers.
