How to Draw Plants : The Techniques of Botanical Illustration
Editorial Reviews
Review
The techniques of botanical illustration are clearly set out. . . . The reader will end up with a greater understanding and appreciation of plant structure.
Filled with superb illustrations and step-by-step studies showing how illustrations can be built up and how special effects can be applied . . . An encyclopedic reference that has long been needed by botanical illustrators.
The book provides quite a helpful basis even for the beginner artist; for those with experience, it's fun to learn methods gleaned during the author's life.
Botanical artist Keith West's thorough guide to drawing plants is so beautifully produced that even nonartists who love nature and art will want to own it.
The wealth of technical information will provide the artist with a greater understanding of and proficiency in botanical work.
Book Description
The best introductory book on the subject examines plant structures and the problems they present to illustrators, then discusses the artist's tools and how to use them: pencils, erasers, papers, brushes, watercolors, gouache, and acrylics.
