Review from The Artist
October 2010
Issue Lavishly and
colourfully illustrated
from start to finish,
this book is a feast for
the eyes. Its the third
book by watercolour
artist Billy Showell and
in it she explains how
she produces her
detailed watercolour
flower paintings with
their unique,
contemporary edge.
Approaching her subjects
with the same level of
accuracy as botanical
artists, Billys flowers
are meticulous and
realistic, but infused
with her distinctive
sense of design to give
them a modern twist. She
says that, for her,
achieving the right
design and composition
are as important as
attaining the true
colours and shapes of
every individual flower.
The first part of this
book gives information on
materials and equipment
needed, as well as
clear instructions on the
main techniques used,
including wet-in-wet,
laying glazes, dry
brushing, lifting out,
using body colour,
masking and creating
texture and pattern.
There are details on
colour mixing and on how
to get the best out of
brushes as well as
insights into composition
ideas and on keeping a
sketchbook. Then,
arranged in alphabetical
order, are detailed
step-by-step instructions
showing how to paint 40
specific flower
portraits, each
accompanied by small
studies, first drawing
stages, methods of
applying paint and a
colour swatch
illustrating the palette
and paint mixes used for
the finished work. If you
are a Billy Showell fan -
and she has many
throughout the world -
then you will need no
further recommendation.
If you are new to her
work, you will be
delighted at the clarity
of instruction, the
delicacy and vibrancy of
the paintings, and the
invaluable advice and
inspiration this book
offers. Susie Hodge
