Publisher's Synopsis
This comprehensive book focuses specifically on the materials and techniques of painting plants in watercolour. Botanical illustrator Eleanor B. Wunderlich shows here how to re-create the many colours and textures found in nature, from the delicacy of a columbine blossom to the rough texture of a pineapple. Flowers, fruit, vegetables, mushrooms, bulbs, roots, ferns, vines, trees and shrubs are all represented by drawings, paintings and step-by-step demonstrations.
