Description
Botanical Illustration explores the art and science behind accurately portraying plant material. This book builds upon the work of past illustrators, from those who used their skills to help with everyday tasks, to those who created detailed scientific drawings.
The book covers practical aspects of botanical illustration, including basic botany, preparing plant material for drawing, and techniques using various mediums such as pencil, watercolour, coloured pencil, and pen and ink. It also provides suggestions for further study and tips on correcting mistakes and adding finishing touches to your work.
