Learn how to sketch, draw and paint flowers and foliage with this bright and accessible step-by-step guide.
Flowers and Foliage: Creating Contemporary Botanical Art explores the always popular subject matter of botanical art. This is a beginner’s guide to creating contemporary botanical art for everyone who loves flowers: tulips, sunflowers, orchids and many more.
Fantastic ice-breaker exercises include:
• Drawing with the non-dominant hand
• Blind contour exercise to test hand-eye coordination
• Drawing a flower upside down to practise observational skills to draw what you see rather than your perceived idea of what a flower looks like.
To help guide readers and budding artists to create their own amazing botanical art, each activity includes:
• Step-by-step imagery
• Flower diagrams with labels
• Original commissioned photography
The projects include working with different media: watercolour pastel pencil ink and use a range of popular flowers as inspiration. With a focus on appreciating nature and making time to play, this simple introduction makes the beloved style of botanical art accessible to all.
