Synopsis

The interest in botanical art is still growing and the authors of the bestselling Botanical Illustration Course with the Eden Project bring fresh ideas to the genre. Contemporary Botanical Illustration covers some of the unusual colours that can be included in botanical art, from black flowers and plants – including seaweed – to green, blue and puce pink. The tricky subject of texture in both pencil and paint is covered in detail. The book also covers the latest ideas for presentation, including new ideas, some from the Far East, for arranging flowers before painting.
Fantastically illustrated with drawings, stunning finished paintings and many step-by-step demonstrations, the book covers:
An overview of contemporary botanical illustration
Your workplace and materials
Pencil drawing
Sketchbook practice
Composition
Basic colour theory
