Reader Review
More ReviewsI can’t draw. I’ve never painted. I almost didn’t buy this book because I thought it was for ‘real’ artists. I was so wrong. This book is for anyone who breathes. Flora brilliantly redefines creativity as a way of seeing, choosing and being. It unlocked a part of me I didn’t know was closed.

Encouraging and Inspiring!
Flora Bowley is a soulful artist/teacher. Her classes and her books are so inspiring. This one is no different.
If you need gentle encouragement to paint, this book will guide you back to your creative practice, or help you start one. Enjoy!
Beautiful, well written, inspirational art book
This is a lovely, colorful, well written book, explaining Flora's techniques, use of color, building an abstract background, layering paint to create interest and then arranging a multitude of techniques on the surface level of the layering.
All the while painting freely from your intuitive thought; listening to your inner creative spirit and going with the flow. This book is fun!
Just start painting!
I love Flora's painting technique, her choice of colors, her drawn images. Each page is an inspiration.
The perfect book to get you to start a painting without worrying about the final product until you get towards the end of the painting. And even then don't worry. Practice eventually leads to being happy with your end result, even if it doesn't come to you with the first few paintings. She offers easy & inspirational reading to go along with her pictures. If this looks like a style of painting you want to try do not hesitate to buy this book.

Beautiful book, wonderful artist. I am so stuck in my ability to paint, and this artist really knows and understands how to free you up or teach a complete beginner how to be unafraid of putting paint onto canvas.
She has online courses and visits various countries to teach courses. I would endorse this book for anyone that needs to spark up your interest in creativity again.
