transparent washes and luminous, glowing colors. Fiona Peart paints poppies in a free style with scribbling and splatterings of paint, then a bouquet of sunflowers in a more structured style.
There are four projects in the botanical style by Michael Lakin, who shows how to paint graded washes, leaving highlights, and then build up stronger washes wet on dry, adding shading and
