Description

pp. 128, color illustrations, “Frances Treanor, who is best known for her paintings of flowers in pastels, sets out to demonstrate how vibrant images of flowers can be achieved with maximum speed and minimum fuss, and that the colour and texture range of pastel is as varied as that of the flowers themselves. Intended for all levels of artistic ability, the book encourages an approach based on personal response and interpretation. Whatever an artist’s style, Treanor’s structured approach to the basics of pastel drawing and painting techniques, colour, and flower pattern and decoration, offers a framework on which to build.”
