Painting your favorite flowers is easy with Donna Dewberry Add the beauty and elegance of painted flowers to your projects. It's quick and fun with Donna Dewberry's popular one-stroke technique This... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I checked out all her books and this one is the most complete. It shows most of what she paints on TV. Her other books cover mostly one type, this is packed. I can't give you any more details because I didn't purchase this to learn her technique; I am a watercolorist and was looking to see if she had any interesting movements of the brush that I haven't seen yet.
A lot of information!

This is my favorite One Stroke book thus far. However, I had already purchased her video "flowers for all seasons" and the "one stroke painting course" and "easy murals" books, so I had a feel for the basics. Her books tend to have some of the same information in each (which I find annoying), but "flowers A to Z" has a lot of variety, so you can learn a lot of techniques just by going through and trying the different flowers. I disagree with the reviewer who claimed the pictures are of poor quality...they look fine to me. Overall, I think this book is a good value.

I loved the layout of this book. The first 2 chapters explain the brushes and basic painting techniques with very clear pictures. The third chapter shows you color blocks of the paint used in the book. This is very helpful if you need to match a different brand of paint. The A to Z flower projects are shown close up so the detail really shows and each project has step by step photo's of Donna building the flowers. I loved the example pages of filler flowers and shadow leaves. But the last part of the book on Floral Design and Composition is especially helpful to any who struggle with placement and design.
