Flowers are traditional visual elements in many still life paintings, and are prominent in landscapes, in commercial art, and as graphic motifs in many designs. This Red Series volume instructs on ways to show flowers both realistically and in highly stylized versions, either singly, in bouquets, or in garden settings. It also shows the representation of flowers throughout history, explains the different media used to depict this genre, and more. Details of botany are outlined, guidelines for color are offered, and examples of well-known floral paintings are reproduced.
