Review: A very clearly explained and beautifully illustrated book! - 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! Review: A BOOK YOU HAVE TO HAVE IF YOU PAINT OR DRAW IN BOTANICALS - 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!!! ## Features - Warning:Do not use near overhead power lines. - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 380,383 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 788 in Plant & Animal Art History & Criticism 2,780 in Painting (Books) 2,990 in Drawing (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 270 Reviews | ## Images ![Drawing and Painting Botanicals for Artists: How to Create Beautifully Detailed Plant and Flower Illustrations (4) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/916WyLIBAlL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A very clearly explained and beautifully illustrated book! *by J***P on 8 June 2021* 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!
