Take Three Colours: Watercolour Flowers - Julie King - Take Three Colours

From Julie King, Take Three Colours: Watercolour Flowers is a beginner-friendly paperback guide to painting watercolour flowers with a deliberately simple set-up. Working with just three colours, three round brushes, a plastic palette and a watercolour pad, it builds confidence through easy exercises that start with tulips and progress to a rose.

Clear advice is supported by step-by-step photography, showing what to do at each stage. No drawing is necessary: the basic drawings can be traced and transferred from the finished paintings, which are shown at full size. The book uses cadmium yellow pale, ultramarine blue and permanent rose, alongside round brushes in sizes 10 (large), 8 (medium) and 4 (small), making it straightforward to follow the projects as intended.
