I buy most of my books online since I live in Switzerland. Often, I never get to see what's inside before I order! A few times, I was disappointed with the style of the book... e.g. I bought a watercolour book (that I have yet to review) that had high ratings, but I did not find it inspiring as the author's style was not interesting to me. So hopefully my photos and reviews here can help others make their online shopping decisions :) As for the authors' second book, did you mean <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0713490780?ie=UTF8&tag=artbooksreviewed-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0713490780" rel="nofollow">Contemporary Botanical Illustration: Challenging Colour and Texture</a>? I have been trying to paint flowers but often find that I don't have the patience for such delicate work :p So this second book is probably too advanced for me. I am very drawn to <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1906388490?ie=UTF8&tag=artbooksreviewed-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1906388490" rel="nofollow">Natural History Painting: With the Eden Project</a> though. would this review interest you? Hi Deirdre,

Thanks for visiting and I’m glad you liked the review!

I buy most of my books online since I live in Switzerland. Often, I never get to see what’s inside before I order!

Did you know that there is a second (more advanced) one by the same authors? It is even more dramatic than the first! Perhaps you could review that one too? Hi,
