I found the book to be a wonderful asset. Maureen McNaughton is a wonderful artist and a good teacher. Her skills carry through this book in both areas. It is a totally different type of decorative painting.
I'm new in paint and brushstrokes. Since I saw Maureen's work I went inspired. I fall in love with the perfection and delicacy of her strokes. This book has beauty. With a little effort, practice and dedication you can get a very good result.
I used one pattern to paint my brag book. To get the pattern I placed my kindle on the floor and took a picture of the pattern. I sized it on my computer. I THEN took pictures of the instruction pages and printed those out too. Was very legible. Colors were not great but that was okay. Now I know I can use my kindle with paint pattern books. Hope this helps someone.
I have both her books I have learned a lot of different techniques. . How to use Gold Leaf and make a Wet Palette.The techniques on floating color to make brush strokes. Maureen McNaughton is one of my favorite artist .
Packed with tons of information! Superb photos showing every step necessary to make realistifc looking flowers and leaves on a good number of projects. Definately a valuable resource for beginners!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've enjoyed this style and admired it for many years and look forward to painting more in this style. The book is well laid out and I love the step by step instructions and pictures. I gave this rating also because of the quality of the pages and color. Thank you
This book is very helpful to develope stroke flowers. Some of her flowers don't even look like stroke flowers they are so beautiful. Very clear and precise on how to develope the flower. Technique is great.
Excellent for artists of all levels - handy to have when you need it. I use it very often.
