About this product

Product Information

Learn to sketch and paint flowers, from bud to full-blown! Imagine learning to draw roses with Redoute, or tulips with Pieter Brugel. Imagine learning the secrets that made their flower paintings stand out in their eras and still stand out today. Classic Sketchbook: Botanicals is a draw-in book that shows you how by taking a close look at the details of great floral paintings and coaching readers to try the techniques with the help of an exper's suggestions. Printed on quality uncoated stock and suited for drawing and watercolor, each spread will consist of two working parts. The left-hand page is for study, featuring a close-up for a drawing or painting by a noted artist from the 19th century or earlier. The right-hand page is for drawing, with only a small box for the expert's brief coaching tips, observations, and a demonstrative sketch. While progressing through the book and trying the different artist styles, you'll gain observational confidence and techniques to apply your own drawing and painting. In learning from the masters, you'll become a master yourself!

Item exactly as described. New with plastic wrap. Came with additional map that you can use as decoration. Very good guide to achieve 100% in Elden Ring game. It took a little over 2 weeks to arrive, don't remember if that was the expected time though.

Fast dispatch and delivery a great price. Pity that the packaging wasn't better as the book was slightly bashed up in transit.

  • A great botanical artwork guide

    This book is a good guide when practising drawing flowers. It by no means teaches you how to actually draw flowers, but offers advice and tips for initial lines and colouring. There are some good traceable sketches to practise colouring flowers and helpful notes on every page. On each spread there is an image of a pre-exisiting artwork on the left and Baines' interpretation, colour palette and notes on the right, which are a good aid. All in all I wouldn't say this book is worth the full RRP due to the lack of written content - and there isn't an abundance of sketches either - but it does serve its purpose as a guide very well.
