Botanical Illustration Course with the Eden Project
£9.58
Absolutely superb - No wonder this book was voted Practical Art Book of The Year in 2007, it is a book to grace any artist s shelf and has become a firm favourite with me. There is a very good reason for this, I love to paint but I do not consider myself to be good at drawing. I have therefore, always opted for impressions of flowers. I have tried many drawing course books, only to fail at almost every step. The big difference is that this book really works and at last I am proud at my drawing efforts. This book is for all levels of botanical illustrators and it is full of practical information that is easy to apply to your own projects. Advice given includes how to set up a studio, mixing colour and composition. The steps are easy to follow - come on, if I can do it, you can. All the basics of drawing are here. Starting with pencil, this book takes you through the stages from basic skills to advanced techniques to complete works in colour. The finished illustrations in this book are exquisite and throughout the book is well-presented and easy to use.If there is one book that can inspire you to illustrate, this is it. Worth every penny.
