Praise for fellow series title, The Colour Mixing Guide, Watercolour Botanicals:
'Why so happy? Because it’s so good. Where previous guides of this type (all of them) have gone for quantity, this very much goes for quality and relevance. I’d class this as pretty much a must-have.' Henry Malt, artbookreview.net

All 15 subjects feature a complete list of colour mixes used with colour ratios and finished swatches for inspiration, and five of the subjects are painted step by step so that you can follow the process of selecting colours, mixing and painting from start to finish.
