Exotic Botanical Illustration with the Eden Project

In Exotic Botanical Illustration, award-winning artists and authors Rosie Martin and Meriel Thurstan bring alive a range of exotic and extroardinary plant specimens with botanical illustration.

The plants range from familiar pineapple and papaya to the more unusual slipper orchid, cacti, protea, bird of paradise flower and carnivorous plants.

The exciting colors and complex textures of exotic plants present a new challenge to the botanical artist, but this book guides you through each stage of the drawing, colour mixing and painting process with plenty of exercises and step-by-step projects.

This book contains guidance on composition, drawing, use of color, washes and working with colored pencils to help botanical artists of all levels.
