I like your version. I have been wanting this book. Thanks for the review. It was helpful. I got it used. Always try to get the used books. Thanks for your time and review

Cheers to used books, Linda! 🥂 Happy painting🩵 I’m glad you enjoyed this review and my interpretation of Sarah’s lovely florals!🌸🎨👩🏻‍🎨

I had seen this book on Apple Books, but I was not sure what it’s about. Now I do. Thanks for this review.

I'm unfamiliar with Sarah Simon, but her book here looks fantastic. And I can't think of a better recommendadion than the lovely painting you created!

Thanks Doreen! I found this to be really fun and I’m thinking loose florals might be a thing for me!🩵🌺

Yes! 🙌🏻

I think your painting is beautiful 🎉❤

@artonthecreek 29 дней назад

Thank you so much, Diana! Sarah’s book is really great for encouraging artist of all skill levels🩷🩷🙌🏼

This book is excellent. I love that Sarah gives recipes for mixing beautiful soft pastel colors. I too buy used art books but this one was so new I could not find a used copy. I have saved so much money buying used books with free shipping on eBay that I could splurge on this new copy.

@artonthecreek 29 дней назад

That’s great!! Thank you for watching & commenting❤️ I agree-I think the color mixing recipes really help make this book rise above the others. Creating muted palettes isn’t easy and might intimidate some beginner artists, but Sarah breaks it down so simply that her book would give even the most novice watercolorists confidence💕

This was a fun video Ann. You know I enjoy videos more whenever the artist is in their happy place, and that is precisely where you were with this book. As you said at the start, this is not a subject matter you ever really thought you’d enjoy, but what it proves is that no matter an artists preferred style of painting, there is simply no need to exclude any subject, because an artist need only stick to the style that gives them joy and paint whatever they like, in whatever is a style than makes them paint with a smile on their face, and a feeling of pride and success when complete. This video was a many layered video full of encouragement and, as ever with you my friend, utter pleasure evident throughout. Thank you ❤👩🏻‍🎨🖌️🎨❤️💐

Thank you so much, Anita! I guess it’s like finding the right pair of shoes, in a way. Shoes are great, we all need them, but if the high heels always hurt your feet, maybe you just need a different kind of heel❤️❤️

I’ve had this book several years so am interested in hearing your take on it - ( I did a few things with it but because I mostly paint figures, portraits and incorporate animals and landscapes I guess I lost interest ) maybe you will help me use the book again…

I hope my review lights a small fire of inspiration for you🥰 I’m not a floral artist but wow Sarah made it so easy! I hope you enjoyed this review & get a chance to try Sarah’s book! 💕🎨👩🏻‍🎨
