Description
This book is about the techniques of the botanical artist and also introduces ideas for scientific illustration. It has over 200 illustrations by the author.
Botanical and scientific illustration have many themes in common.
Both are defined by meticulous observation, crucial composition and
the accuracy of colour - these are all intrinsic to this niche
genre of art. In this beautiful book, Sarah Jane Humphrey explains
the techniques of the botanical artist but also introduces ideas
for scientific illustration, so that the illustrator has a fuller
understanding when rendering the natural world. Alongside this,
Humphrey gives valuable context which grounds the genre in a unique
place in the art world. Detailed instruction on all aspects of
illustration is given, from application and materials to research
and field trips. There is also practical advice on using monochrome
and colour theory to bring your illustrations to life. Illustrated
with over 200 of the author's exquisite illustrations, this book is
an excellent companion for both beginners and experienced artists.
