Watercolour Flower Portraits

I have the Italian version of this book. The beautiful image on the cover of the idea of what level is the content of this volume. And 'the spectacle of nature created by the magical talent of Billy Showell. This book comparable in beauty, another volume of this Artist ( "Botanical Painting in watercolor"). amazing images in both books. The flowers are represented in every little detail, the leaves have all their thin ribs, all the beauty of the flowers captured and reproduced by the brush, carefully. From this careful observation, almost manic, do these drawings that surprise for their absolute perfection. The buds alternate with corolla fleshy, glossy, curved leaves dance on the paper, as in the wind. To describe this book should invent new adjectives! The thorns of roses. Pollen. The serrated edges of some leaves ... nothing escapes. Everything played. And all wonderfully perfect! Cinzia.
