Lockdown, With Cats is a book of artwork created by Yeju Kwon with
the hope of comforting contemporary people who deal with stress and
anxiety. The theme of this book is centred around living in
lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic and it aims to depict the
tone of current daily life that we are all experiencing. Yeju aims
to portray feelings of safety and peace in her drawings and she
hopes that the use of cats in her drawings will make it easier for
the reader to resonate with these feelings.
A comprehensive and sumptuous survey that celebrates the beauty and
appeal of flowers throughout art, history, and culture The latest
installment in the bestselling Explorer Series takes readers on a
journey across continents and cultures to discover the endless ways
artists and image-makers have employed floral motifs throughout
history. Showcasing the diversity of blooms from all over the
world, Flower spans a wide range of styles and media - from art,
botanical illustrations, and sculptures to floral arrangements,
film stills, and textiles - and follows a visually stunning
sequence with works, regardless of period, thoughtfully paired to
allow interesting and revealing juxtapositions between them.
The characteristics of watercolour naturally complement botanical
art and this beautiful book shows you how to make the most of this
versatile medium. It starts by guiding you through the complexities
of painting flowers, with advice on materials and colour mixing,
using colour to achieve translucency and clarity, building
confidence with step-by-step examples and the importance of
observation and botancial accuracy. It then creates detailed and
beautiful compositions for the more experienced botanical artist.
This new book has ideas and tips on composition and how to include
animal life and is structured by season to include a range of
flowers and plants.
With over 70 original illustrations, printmaker Angela Harding
invites you to look at how the light changes the world around us,
and how that changes us in its turn. "I, like many other people,
find great inspiration in the way mornings, evenings or bright
midday light changes the way we see the things around us. The
bouncing light of a cloud-filled storm sky can change a seascape
through a palette of blues, greys, and turquoises. The cool summer
moonlight that crosses my back garden sends long shadows that
change the mood of the garden from homely to unfamiliar. And
whether it's the low light of an English February afternoon or the
sharp, bright mid-morning light of the Cornish seaside, the light
and dark we experience affects our moods. "But life is busy, and I
am guilty as anyone of being too preoccupied by daily life to just
stop and look. This book is a collection of illustrations from
those moments when I have stopped and looked; when a particular
encounter with nature has been highlighted by the time of day or
the time of night, becoming a strong image long remembered and one
that I wish to illustrate. "I hope you enjoy this journey through
24 hours of my collected memories of the nature that surrounds me."
An Accordion Book doesn’t open, it unfolds. One side is filled
with beautiful watercolour images of an animal: sometimes in
motion, sometimes at rest. The other is filled with text – poems,
descriptions, invocations – inspired by the same animal.Together
they work as spells to summon the animal’s spirit. Jackie Morris
has painted them using antique watercolours, some from boxes which
hadn't been opened for over 150 years, woken from their slumber
with a single drop of water.Fox and Otter are the first two
Accordions in a series that will go on to include Hare,Owl,Hound
and Cat among many others.
This title is the IP Book Awards 2007 Gold Medal winner for
Outstanding Book of the Year - Most Original Concept. Never before
seen SEM images are unique to the book. It will appeal to
scientists, artists and photographers alike. The extraordinary
beauty and structure of pollen grains invisible to the naked eye.
This book is the result of the shared fascination of an artist and
a scientist with the perfect design of organisms too small to be
seen without a microscope. Pollen is ubiquitous; its tiny forms
have fascinated the scientifically curious since the seventeenth
century. Its tiny grains are enclosed beyond the accessible beauty
of the flower until the moment of release, when they are carried by
wind, water or animal vectors to achieve their purpose, which is
procreation. A clear explanation of the structure and form of
pollen, the remarkable events from pollination to fertilization,
and the many ways in which pollen impacts unseen on our lives is
interwoven with a dazzling array of original images created
especially for the book.
