Billy Showell's Botanical Painting in Watercolour

Billy Showell's book Botanical Painting in Watercolour is a practical, richly illustrated guide to painting plants with scientific accuracy and artistic sensitivity, combining clear instruction on materials, colour mixing and wash techniques with step by step demonstrations of drawing, layering and finishing. It covers observational methods and plant anatomy to help artists capture form and texture, and includes worked examples, practice exercises and colour charts to build confidence from beginner to advanced levels. The emphasis on careful observation, control of watercolour washes and attention to composition makes it a useful reference for anyone wanting to create detailed, lifelike botanical paintings.
