Riassunto

Capture the fascinating beauty of plants. How can an artist create a botanical portrait that is both accurate and aesthetically pleasing? This is the essence of an art form whose charm and universal appeal have made it popular for centuries.

This book is full of essential advice not found in any other watercolor books, such as:
· What a botanical illustration must include to meet the requirements of scientific accuracy.

· How to prop up a heavy woody branch at the desired angle.

· How to keep ferns and delicate flowers from wilting before the picture is finished.

· How to mix the specific colors of paint most often needed for depicting plants.

· How to plan the design of a drawing that involves heavy foliage or multiple stems.
