A successfully executed work of botanical art is an exacting blend
of scientific accuracy and aesthetic beauty. This lavishly
illustrated volume offers practical, step-by-step instruction for
creating professional quality colored pencil illustrations of
flowers, foliage, fruits, and other botanical subjects. Colored
pencils serve as an excellent alternative to the traditional
practice of rendering botanical art in watercolors because pencils
are far easier to use and control, yet can produce equally
outstanding results. The author instructs in the use of both
water-soluble and oil-based colored pencils, and presents
progressive illustrations that demonstrate the rendering of an
artwork from start to completion. She advises on choosing materials
and offers guidelines for getting to know each flower or plant
before starting an illustration. All aspects of working with
colored pencils are covered, including underpainting, layering and
burnishing, mixing and building up color, and adding those
finishing touches that bring a botanical subject fully to life. She
also presents works by other botanical artists to show students a
wide range of styles. The book features approximately 200 beautiful
and instructive color illustrations.
