We often note the passage of time by the ever changing flowers in our gardens and fields. We watch them break through the soil, grow and blossom and then, ultimately, fade away as the seasons change. The lessons in this workbook show you, through step by step demonstrations, how to paint a detailed botanical specimen from each of the four seasons using gouache, a very versatile and easy to learn water based medium. So, pick up your brush, find a quiet place and spend some time making a permanent record of some of nature's seasonal beauty.
