botanical illustration in watercolor
This is a very helpful book for all ranges of talent. Great illustrations as well as written instructions, easy to follow and understand. I got this thru a out of print vendore and it was in great shape, as advertised. The price was great and worth the wait.
The Demonstrations in this book make it well worth the price!
A very good book that teaches the reader how to create beautiful botanical illustations. The book goes through drawing materials to use, then has good sections of how to draw plants by 'type', for example, teacup shaped flowers, tubular flowers, leaves, stems, spiral formation, and fruit.
The book then covers how to transfer your drawings, and watercolor. Approximately half of the book contains fabulous step-by-step demonstrations, like painting strawberries, an eggplant, a flowering trumpet vine. The onion demonstration really is exciting to me- we all have a few in the fridge, and the end result is stunning....with peeling layers on top- I can't wait to try that.
This book should be of interest to anyone who would like to draw and paint any kind of plant more beautifully.
One of the best resources
Not only is the author a super artist, rendering her illustrations with fine, exacting detail, but she's also creative in the way she frames the subject. She also provides excellent and extremely helpful, easy-to-do (inexpensive) instructions on setting up a studio/supplies, etc. I love it.
