A variety of pictures from different watercolour artists, compiled by the editor of the Splash series.
I would say "Basic" is misleading, this is not a step-by-step book for basic flower painting techniques in watercolours.
There are a couple of steps shown for some of the pictures, you would have to be able to figure the rest out yourself.
That being said - the book is inspiring and I did learn some interesting things.
This would be a good accompaniment to a solid library of watercolour technique books.
