Do you want to create florals with a dreamy effortless look?

This beginner friendly book will teach you everything you need to know about the basics of acrylic painting while walking you through creating eight gorgeous floral paintings ready to hang or gift. You will learn how to take a good reference photo, sketching tips, color theory, what materials to buy, and how to use them. If you're not ready to draw on your own you can download, print, and trace my sketches using carbon paper to follow along with the step-by-step painting tutorials.
