Need a detailed photo reference for drawing or painting flowers? Artist's Photo Reference: Flowers, a hardcover book by Gary Greene, contains over 500 clear, crisp, color-saturated photos taken at high-quality settings.
As a professional nature photographer, Greene has created this book with the special needs of the artist in mind. Forty-nine different types of flowers are arranged alphabetically, from Amaryllis to Zinnia. Greene uses different angles and perspectives, in order to highlight the detail in each blossom.
Five step-by-step demonstrations on how to draw the flowers make this an invaluable tool for artists at all levels. For each flower, he begins with a primary photo, side views, and close shots of leaves, petals, and other unique characteristics. He includes information about stating where they generally grow, their size, and the various shades you'll find for each.
