Garden Glories: Painting Fruit, Vegetables & Berries in Acrylic

I love Prudy Vannier! Her style of drawing and her use of highlighting are wonderful. I am inspired whenever I open one of her books. The only thing that I do differently is in choosing colors for the individual pieces. Though her use of color in purple is spot on for me. An awe inspiring book.

We do not have a great selection of decorative painting books here in Switzerland so I have to order mine, mostly sight unseen, abroad, and sometimes I am very disappointed. What a delight to receive this one. I keep looking at it over and over again and it has given me so many ideas. I am not an experienced painter but a very enthusiastic one and I find Prudy's projects to be both interesting, inspiring and very well explained. Prudy, could you please do another book very soon.

This book is great for beginners. I have no decorative painting experience at all, only a burning desire! This book is fun to use, and I was successfull quickly. I particularly like the designs that are supplied to copy and trace, and the great ideas for wood projects! I highly recommend this book if your interested in learning how to paint fruits and vegetables. I have found a new relaxing way to deal with stress!
