Roses 42: This collection of pictures of roses painted in watercolors comes from a botanical handbook illustrated by A. Parson. While the subjects are simple, the decorative effect produced is extraordinary.

Trees and leaves 45: This volume presents a series of pictures of trees and leaves. Far from being a botanical handbook, the volume aims to stimulate artists to capture the most expressive and evocative aspects of the natural world that surrounds them.

Water 46: This collection of 18 pictures using a variety of techniques (watercolors, oils and acrylics) focuses on water, highlighting its transparency and its reflective capacity. Seascapes, lake views, river scenes and stagnant water are examined so as to appreciate the difficulties involved in painting water, as well as the satisfaction that the artist can gain from such a vital element in paintings and drawings.

The seasons 47 : Oils, acrylics and watercolors are the techniques used for the 15 paintings in this volume devoted to the seasons. The pictures stimulate the reader to appreciate and capture the most expressive and evocative aspects of the changing seasons. And as nature changes its appearance, the light changes in quality and quantity. The changing seasons throughout the year have always enthralled artists, providing a great source of inspiration for figurative art.

Seascapes 27: This overview of seascape painting presents various techniques used in pictures where the sea is, in all its aspects the protagonist. This book is a valuable tool for both beginners and professional artists.
