Painting Acrylic flowers
You can not find many books for painting flowers in acrylic. Painting Acrylic Flowers A to Z, gives you different shapes, styles and colors. No disappointment here. If you want to get a more accurate drawing for your flowers you should get the following book The Watercolor Flower Painter's A to Z: An Illustrated Directory of Techniques for Painting 50 Popular Flowers. Both are very good buys!!
