A propos de cet article

"A watercolour book and a nature-lover's book with a difference. Each of the four artists was invited to hunt out, draw and paint the small detail, the delicate structure: the veins of leaves, the grainy texture of bark or stonework, the exploding bud, the brilliant colours of a poppy, the tiered groups of fungie like velvet shank. They interpret these subjects in their own striking and contrasting styles, and in a manner that will surprise the reader with the etraordinary richness of nature even in its miniature form." "Four distinguished and skilled watercolourists demonstrate how they approach a challenging task and succeed in presenting an unusual view of the natural world. .[This] is not only profusely illustrated in colour throughout the book but it also includes over 30 step-by-step demonstrations (including sketches) which will be invaluable examples for both professional and amateur painters to follow." --- Original cream papered boards, lettered gilt on spine (29.3 x 22.2 cm).
