My book
for Mango editions



I am very grateful to my editor for asking me to publish my book, "Aquarelle la nature recompose", (Mango editions).
I explain the basics of watercolor such as materials, drawing and composition. I develop the theory of colors and their mixtures, as well as my color choices and the application techniques I use on dry or wet paper. The second part of the book shows to my plant-inspired still lifes, painted and explained step by step, to illustrate my creative choices using watercolor techniques.

It is distributed at our usual book retailers, on order or online, such as at:

Contribution of works for "La Flore" and
"Drawing from model", by author Helen Birch


The Italian version of The flora; "Arte botanica", honor my work with this beautiful cover.

Helen Birch's book, "La Flore" (Pyramyd editions), is composed of a selection of botanical works by international artists. Published in many languages, it joins a collection of books by the same author. She writes and analyzes the various techniques that serve the art.
I am very grateful to Helen for giving me the honor of being part of this project, by publishing many of my botanically inspired paintings and sketches.



In " Drawing from model" (Pyramyd editions). Helen has again published a double page from my Moleskine notebook, this time composed of human figures. This book is also published in many other languages; like "Drawing from life" (Rotovision), and "Dibujo del natural" (Gustavo Gil)...
