Artist Fisher encourages readers to treat the exercises in this slim guide as a starting point, to ignore convention as they see fit, and to stick with their avocation to achieve the most satisfying results. The guide provides three multi-step projects the reader can try and also covers materials, color, tone, composition, and drawing. Many examples of acrylic flower paintings are provided, all done by Fisher, in a wide array of styles.

VERDICT This will be popular with beginning painters and weekend hobbyists.
