Watercolor, wildflowers

Watercolor Wildflowers Recognize and paint the poetry of nature This book is an invitation to meet wild flowers. Poppy, plantain, elderberry, chamomile, wild rose, so many wild flowers that we come across in our gardens or during walks without paying attention to them. Yet their diaphanous petals, their discreet hues are inexhaustible subjects for the watercolourist. In addition to giving you all the watercolor techniques, Gaëtane (@fleurs.poudrees) guides you, in great detail, through an original creative process where observation and interpretation will allow you to develop your own style. Much more than a flower, you will paint a movement, an atmosphere, a feeling. - All the techniques to start well and improve. - Simple and detailed advice to sharpen your eye as a watercolourist. - Recipes to enjoy the benefits of nature. 120 pages to make available to everyone all the techniques of naturalistic watercolor in the "Loose" style that for the occasion the author calls "botani-loose". Gaëtane Nicoulin-Béchir (of the website fleurs-poudrees.com) is a laboratory technician in chemistry, watercolorist and captivated by the riches of the plant world. She lives in a green region, located in the northwest of Switzerland, dotted with mountains, forests, fields and streams. Lulled by nature and its secrets transmitted from generation to generation, she takes great pleasure in painting and using these treasures in herbal tea, syrup, remedies, etc. The delicate taste of wild garlic in spring, the scent of elderflowers which caress the nostrils, the plantain crumpled between his fingers which relieves many stings, the aromatic wild thyme in summer, come, as the seasons go by, feed his pictorial universe.
