This is an excellent book by one of America's premiere porcelain artists. Jayne Houston was one of our elite artists for many years before her passing. Jayne was the consummate artist and this book is filled with dozens of color studies, each with detailed instructions. Learn to paint beautiful apples, grapes, currants, cherries, strawberries and oranges as well as many more obscure fruits. Many studies are presented for mixed fruits as well as design ideas on adapting these fruit designs to various chinaware shapes. 83 pages in a spiral binder, this is an excellent gift for any china painter.
