Re-create the wonder and beauty of twelve picturesque scenes, as you join Jo on her journey to capture the realism of nature using her trademark layering technique, combining a simple watercolour wash, a handful of embroidery stitches and a palette of the prettiest colours.
PROJECTS: Seascape. The water greets the sky surrounded by cow parsley, daisies and a scattering of tiny flowers | Hollyhocks. Elegant spires, in shades of dusky pink and soft green, stretch towards the sky | Bluebells Under the Birches. A carpet of pure, blue flowers spreads beneath a canopy of birch leaves | Topiary in the Border. Perfect topiary spheres rise above a colourful sea of iris, geum, verbena and echinacea flowers | Amongst the Daisies. A field of fresh, white daisies, some crowned with a golden eye, spread beneath the sun | Irises. Rich, velvety petals of the purple iris rise above a sea of sword-like leaves | Cottage Garden. Swathes of flowers, large and small, meld together in perfect harmony | Alliums &Topiary. Globes of purple allium flowers echo the neatly clipped sphere of a topiary ball | Silver Birches. Graceful trunks of ghostly white rise through a woodland garden of ferns and cow parsley | Foxgloves. In every shade of pink, proud foxgloves stand sentinel over their garden companions | Cow Parsley. The delicate lace of white cow parsley flowers decorates a field of wheat | Poppies & Cornflowers. Papery, pink skirts of poppy flowers twirl amongst the cornflowers.
