offers new insights and a fresh approach to the wonders of
botanical illustration. Topics covered include: advice on the
labelling and quality of paper, and choice of pencils, paints and
brushes; techniques for the mixing and handling of greens; chapters
on magnification, managing detail and using scale bars; and
finally, instructions for using perspective techniques, and
painting complex structures such as pine cones and umbellifers, and
tricky details such as hairs.

Discover a whole new realm of botanical painting - the natural life
forms that coexist with flowering plants, revealed in exquisite
detail. Traditionally, botanical art has focused on the flowers,
leaves and form of plants. They are depicted in solitary glory on a
page, divorced from the life forms that live alongside them in
nature. But award-winning UK botanical painter, Christina
Hart-Davies, believes passionately that flowers are only part of
the picture and loves to explore the different stages, related
species, habitats and associated creatures that provide their
setting in the wild. She looks at plants and other life forms from
all angles - scientific, aesthetic and cultural - to tell The Whole
Story. Showcasing examples of her most popular works, The Whole
Story draws on Christina's long and parallel careers in both art
and illustration. Take inspiration from her enthusiasm for the
details and beauty of all aspects of the natural world and benefit
from her experience as she shares techniques for painting moss and
insects as well as advice on composition and lettering. This book
will transform your perspective and inspire you to look beyond the
flowers.
Scissors and glue stick at the ready... inject a wealth of
botanical beauty into your creative projects with this sumptuous
collection of images from the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew archive.
Whether you're looking for vintage botanical ephemera to enhance
your journal or scrapbook pages, want to make your own collage art,
or simply have a range of botanical elements at your fingertips for
gift-wrapping, card-making, vision-boarding and more - this
stunning collection will give you over 500 images to cut out and
create with, in whatever way you choose. Featuring over 500 images,
this book presents a wide variety of botanical art across a range
of chapters - from flowers to cacti, fruit and vegetables, and even
fungi. The images are printed on one side only so that all images
can be used, and each page is backed with lovely botanical patterns
that can also be used as paper elements, so no scrap is wasted.
Botanical art is as popular today as it has ever been, perhaps even
more so, as we all realise the importance of connecting with nature
in an increasingly fast-paced world. It has been scientifically
proven that even looking at pictures of plants can have a calming
effect on the mind, lowering stress levels and supporting
relaxation. The same is true of making things by hand - away from
screens and digital distractions - and so combining the traditional
craft of collage with botanical art is an immensely mindful
activity that will benefit all who have a go. Alongside the 500
images, you will find guidance on how to use the book, with collage
ideas and tips and tricks for getting the most from this absorbing
art form. Cut it up, stick it down and watch your creative projects
blossom before your very eyes with this bumper book of botanical
illustrations from Kew.
