About this book

This is a botanically based (as opposed to free-form drawing) practical manual on how to paint a vast range of plants in watercolour and other media.

Drawing on her experience as a teacher at RHS Rosemoor, Christine Brodie takes a holistic approach to botanical art, covering: botanical terminology; drawing and painting techniques in a wide range of media; dissection and examination of plants; simple experiments that can be performed at home; microscope work and tips on presentation.

Having been taken through the various techniques in clear steps, the reader will be able to draw and paint flowers, fruit, leaves, stems and roots, trees, fungi, grasses, rushes and sedges, ferns and horsetails, seaweeds and other algae, cacti and succulents, mosses, liverworts and lichens with remarkable precision and stunning detail.
