This beautiful book by Billy Showell is exquisitely executed and includes wonderful watercolour portraits of fruit and vegetables?some with an unconventional, often amusing, twist to traditional botanical studies.
The book is packed full of useful information, expert advice and guidance on materials, and Billy takes you through you through what you need to get started, composition and colour mixing. She also covers an array of painting techniques, such as wet-into-wet, lifting out, how to use masking fluid and how to strengthen colour and much much more.

In the DVD Billy shows you with ease how to recreate four extremely realistic looking subjects including: Red Apple - using strong colour; Grapes - maintaining light; Turnip - creating form and Broad Beans - adding texture.
