An introduction to botanical illustration in ten step-by-step lessons.

This practical introduction to botanical illustration is formed of ten graded lessons, where each teaches you new skills to build upon the last. From mushrooms and orchids to hawthorn berries and leaves, once you've completed these lessons in drawing and painting botanical subjects, you will have all the techniques you need in order to tackle far more complex arrangements. Even if you are still an uninitiated illustrator, learn how to produce accurate and beautiful results with step-by-step instructions for each individual project.

With advice on drawing accurately, measuring and recording your subject, as well as preparing a well-composed botanical plate, this book covers everything you need to know to get ahead in botanical illustration.
