Billy Showell's Botanical Watercolour Books Comparison PART 1/2 | Comparing 1-4 Books

Thank you so much for your synopsis of these books by my favorite botanical artist! I've been undecided about diving into learning botanical illustration in watercolour. Having seen your VERY informative reviews of her books, paint selections, etc., I feel I'm ready to give it a go! Thank you again. Please keep up the good work. Happy painting!🎨🎨🎨😃😃

Great, helpful review as always. Watercolour Flower Portraits (first book shown with red flower) is being re-released in paperback on February 1st 2021 with a different cover.

A very nice review of Billy Showell's four books. I'm looking forward to part 2. And, a big congrats for reaching 1K subscribers. I'm surprised it took so long, because your videos are so well done. I'm sure it will soon be 2K.

Thanks for your review xx

Hello, Alyona! Thank you for all the time and effort in filming and publishing the videos! I found your videos specifically on Sennelier paints (which are my favorite), I have followed you since! I really like your personal style, soft voice and artistic touch! I am glad you have taken the time to flip through the Billy Showell books... I am now also proud owner of 2 of her books, mainly because Sennelier Paint is featured! You have incorporated fun ways of using the colored swatches in your journal.....really great creative touch! Micron archival ink pens are doing a fab job in outlining and this way I avoid inky mess! My fav. nib in my fountain pen is an Italic size M and so stabilizes my script!

I bought 3 books after reading your review. Will decide upon reading those if I want the vegetables one. Thank you for the detailed review and comparison.

Wow, these books are beautiful and thanks for the review Alyona. I never knew they actually had botanical watercolor books.

Grazie 🙏

Hi thank u for sharing , I want to ask you please between the books and the lesson in the website which one is useful for beginners?? I'm confused for first step learning ..

Hi Alyson’s, does she provide reference photos?

what brand of paint? perhaps a usefulvideo would be a compilation of the color and brands of paints used by showell and mason.i bought the a-z flower book by showell, and the brand info is missing.

What book of billy showell do you prefer and why?

Wow ! Can I ask which one would be best to get for most techniques ? Start up book ?
