* Leisure Painter - December 2020 *Watercolour Flowers Step-by-Step is a title that manages to stand out in one of the craft's most competitive fields. Giving crafters the chance to either establish or hone their card front florals, it's driven by a bundle of projects outlined with clear and concise instructions that manage to offer something to beginners, intermediates, and even experts.
* Crafts Beautiful *Some inspiring projects, and a mix of techniques to try. They are good tutorials if you have some experience or understanding of watercolour. Overall I’d say an inspiring book with nice ideas.
