Start with Let’s Start Botanical Art - my original and newly updated guide.
In 12 Chapters and 82 pages I take you through the exact materials I own, the exact techniques I use and the exact process I follow - I’m not hiding any secrets here!
The guide is crammed full of easy to follow information, with 9 manageable projects as well as 2 full step-by-step tutorials, all supported by video demonstrations, to help you create your first botanical studies.

I’d recommend starting with The Complete Bundle - this contains Let’s Start Botanical Art which will give you a really solid understanding of my methods, as well as two more tutorials which will advance your skills even further with fun new projects!

If you’ve already purchased Let’s Start Botanical Art, have watched one of my classes on Skillshare or attended one of my workshops, then you should be familiar with my methods! I’d recommend purchasing The Evolving Bundle. It includes two further tutorials that you can continue to practice all of the skills you’ve learnt already!
“This is the perfect place to begin a journey in botanical art. Helen explains everything so clearly, describing all the materials she uses, and why she chooses those particular ones. The videos are fantastic in showing real-time how she works with the ability to pause and change the speed. This guide really propelled me forwards and I am so excited to try the next two projects! I find so much peace from sitting down to paint” — Cheryl
