In this demonstration, Sterling Edwards shows and explains how to paint a floral that has bold colors and design elements that are a little different from most floral paintings. Edwards’ stylized floral watercolors have been one of his most popular items at his workshops for years. Watch and learn as he explains in detail the thought process behind the brush. You’ll never look at a flower the same way again.

The disc can be played on a computer or DVD player.
