All the conventional brushstrokes are covered, plus many that are unique and innovative.
Step-by-step demos illustrate how to put individual strokes together to form many different kinds of leaves and flowers such as poppies, roses, thistles, violets, daylilies, bluebells, rhododendrons, hydrangeas and more.
