As well as providing a delightful introduction to botanical painting, this handy guide will give you a set of twenty images you can be proud to frame and hang.

A concise introduction to materials and methods will show you all the techniques you need to know, from composition, colour and brushwork to wet-on-wet, masking and glazing.

Each of the 20 projects feature a printed outline on the accompanying painting pad as well as full instructions for completing them. The subjects are houseplants (you don’t even have to go outdoors for these exercises) and the images are deliberately simplified so that you’re only working with a few techniques at a time.

This is the complete package - all you need is a few brushes and colours and you’re ready to go. It’s the ideal companion for those long winter evenings.
