Watercolor Flowerscapes

Bring beautiful aspects of the natural world into your art with botanical artist Karly Murphy. Karly shows readers how easy it is to merge watercolor landscape painting with the art of pressed flowers to create vivid pieces highlighting their local flora. Karly’s watercolor flowerscapes are for beginners and advanced artists alike, with projects like Fern Forest, Riverside Flowers and Coastal Cliffs made accessible with easy-to-follow instructions. And because each project teaches new artistic techniques like blending, blotting and shading, readers can combine lessons and create unique landscapes of their own. Karly also shows readers how to paint and press flowers in clusters in order to create organic, realistic landscapes that accurately capture the beauty of the outside world. So no matter your region, there’s bound to be a gorgeous project in store, and no better reason to get outside and start creating.
