Capturing the ripe red glow of an apple or the juicy flavor of a peach is easy with the help of Priscilla Hauser, the "first lady" of decorative painting. She gives readers all the advice they need to capture the colors and textures of their favorite fruits and berries, including lemons, strawberries, pears, plums, blackberries, apples, holly, pine sprigs, and mistletoe. She starts with an overview of general supplies, then moves on to the basics, addressing everything from preparing a surface to loading brushes with paint. Next, Priscilla guides painters through nine wonderful projects - each one heavily illustrated with detailed, step-by-step photos that enable them to copy her every stroke. They'll learn to paint fruits and berries on everything from tin canisters and wooden bowls to miniature wheelbarrows, candles and more!
