Time for some new floral techniques. In this book David will take you on a journey through what is known as divisionist techniques such as "Le Petit Tache". Learn to use new colors in new and different optical ways. Learn both warm and cool palette with 6 painting lessons as your guide to these techniques. Full color lessons with over 40 step photos for each lesson. Expanded introduction section showing some of the divisionist techniques. These new looks are so fun to paint and really exciting to look at. The technique uses both direct and implied colors. This gives powerful contrast which the viewer's eye will blend together.

Join David for this new optical adventure that will surely challenge and change the way you paint. Learn to see in optical layers. David will also paint all these lessons on the easel using our new longer handled brushes. He will show and explain how to approach the painting of the flower from the 19th century "fine art, impressionist" style, which gives new looks and life to these styles of painting.
