Billy Showell is known for her attention to detail and the wonderful step-by-step instruction she provides in her books. When Billy published Watercolor Flower Portraits and Watercolor Fruit & Vegetable Portraits, she created instructional DVDs to go with each book. Billy’s Watercolor Flower Portraits DVD and Watercolor Fruit & Vegetable Portraits DVD are now available at ArtPlantae Books.

In Watercolor Flower Portraits, Billy provides 120 minutes of instruction and demonstrates the watercolor techniques she uses to paint a tulip, an Arum Lily, and a Phalaenopsis orchid. She also provides tips about how to compose a painting.

In Watercolor Fruit & Vegetable Portraits, Billy demonstrates how to turn a sketch into a finished painting. See how to use strong colors to paint an apple, how to maintain light areas when painting red grapes, how to create form on a turnip, and how to add texture to bean pods.


NOTE:
*** These DVDs are in the PAL format and are viewable on a computer that reads DVDs. They are not viewable on a DVD player hooked up to a television set. ***
