Beautiful Botanical Watercolour Spiral Bound Instruction book.
"Beautiful cover and pictures throughout. Great for the beginner artist and has tips and tricks for those further along. Has the basics of watercolour techniques with enough projects to build confidence and ability. Book is spiral bound and can sometimes be a bit awkward to handle but lies flat so that's handy while painting. Has beautiful brass (?) corners that add to the beauty of the cover. The plastic wrap it came in I feel is unnecessary and doesn't allow the potential purchaser to review before buying. All in all a decent book to have in your watercolour library."
