Australian Wildflower Sampler

Deborah Kneen's Australian Wildflower Sampler is full of beautiful and versatile design ideas for decorative painters who want to use native flora on wood, metal, fabric, leather, glass, porcelain, and other functional surfaces.

The book is lavishly illustrated with sketches, diagrams, and twenty-four colour worksheets which provide a step-by-step painting guide to forty wildflowers, including the State floral emblems.

Deborah Kneen describes techniques for preparing, painting and finishing a range of surfaces, and includes patterns to suit every project and occasion. A useful section on design principles will help you to create your own unique Australian floral designs.

The book is a perfect sequel to The Australian Folk Art Collection which inspired comments such as:

Better Homes and Gardens • 'Hearty congratulations.

A beautifully presented publication' Folk and Decorative Artists' Association
