Bit of a long shot but has anyone here ever seen/used one of these?  OH is asking me what I want for birthday and Christmas and I foolish spent my pocket money a couple of months back on a load of lovely paint & pencil sets (which I'm loving.....) so don't need any more supplies.  But these look possibly a bit of fun.  Looks like there's a whole series........

    i've not seen the watercolour ones, but a couple of the ladies at my local Arts & Crafts group have RHS colouring books that they use coloured pencils for, and they're lovely, with a beautiful detailed botanical coloured drawing on one side and the outlines on the other to fill in.

    Ah - thanks @p00hsticks
    I suppose I could use the outlines as something to practice on....realistically though I'm looking for something that is more than just a colouring book.

    The description states

     Perfect for absolute beginners in botanical art, the ready-to-use outlines allow you to focus on the painting and avoid the accuracy of composition drawings. Each outline includes a finished painting by artist Rachel Padder-Smith and a recommended colour palette, so all you have to worry about is enjoying the process!
