Drawing and Painting Botanicals for Artists: How to Create Beautifully Detailed Plant and Flower Illustrations (4)

I had bought this book particularly for watercolours however as there is a little bit on each different medium, I found this also to be a great bonus! A lot of really great tips and very helpful sections explaining colour mixing, techniques and composition etc. This book is really informative and has some great little exercises to follow which you can apply to your own paintings as opposed to completing long, detailed tutorials, so I really prefer.. A lot of books can sometimes be either a gallery of the artist’s work or very long reading on each topic, but this book explains everything very clearly and concisely and has beautiful illustrations to explain. One of my favourite books so far!

OMG this is a must have book for everyone!! This book is illustrated so beautifully and detailed and packed full of very helpful tips and information. At first I was a little hesitant because it was more expensive than I really wanted to pay, HOWEVER, I am so thankful I did buy It! It sits on my desk every day for inspiration even when I'm not using it. Gorgeous book!!!

A good book especially for anyone new to botanical watercolour painting. The emphasis seems to be on the preliminary steps with regard to washes and effects, the all important stages. I would recommend this book and particularly the online version.

I bought this for a friend who loves painting. It was well recieved.

A truly fabulous book

It's just arrived so have only flicked through but, seen enough already to know it's all I hoped for with some amazingly, beautiful drawings & paintings. Even if not an artist still a lovely book to enjoy looking through, I love it. 100% satisfied, arrived sooner than expected too. Thank you.

Don't go for this book, waste of money. It's my honest opinion, I never write reviews. But this book made me.

Had preordered this book: Drawing and Painting Botanicals for Artists by Karen Kluglein. Received it promptly when it came out and went through it quickly as my expectations were really high... It did not disappoint! Lovely book, well explained, wonderful art! Couldn’t be happier! Now, all I have to do is go through it again slowly and practice what I learn!

This book is so good I bought the digital version as well. Karen Kluglein shares her process clearly and provides a valuable resource for anyone interested in botanical art whether a beginner or more advanced artist. Inspiring and a book I go back to, often.

Karen Is a very accomplished botanical artist and illustrator. I have taken two “in-person” workshops with her and this book is consistent with her teachings. She is excellent at breaking down various botanical processes. This book is a great resource with wonderful examples created in a variety of media. Her step-by-step instruction is clear and specific to her teaching methods. I am so glad she took the time to put her exceptional knowledge and expertise into writing! I highly recommend this book because I know what an amazing teacher she is!
