Product Information
Botany for Artists is an accessible introduction to the world of plant science. It is aimed at anyone who is interested in plants and flowers, especially those who wish to draw or paint them without sacrificing technical accuracy to aesthetic quality. Many botanical artists struggle when closely observing their subjects and do not have the structural knowledge necessary to enhance the quality and precision of their work. This informative book addresses the intricacies of plant and floral structure, form and behaviour and seeks to equip artists with a more comprehensive understanding of botany. It offers guidance on topics relevant to botanical artists, explains basic biological concepts to enhance the understanding of observation, and provides a springboard of knowledge to enable the reader to tackle more academic literature, and encourages a more confident approach to botanical painting and illustration.

She is a founder member of the Hampton Court Palace Florilegium Society and is its Honorary Botanical Advisor for artists and exhibits widely. SELLING POINTS: .

Outstanding guide to understanding botany
Not an art instruction book, but a superb description of the botany of plants. This is an in-depth guide for artists wanting to fully understand the plants they draw and paint. Explains technical terms very clearly, using photographs and illustrations. Beautifully presented. Will be an outstanding guide which will underpin all my art work from now on.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
