Botanical Illustration Course With The Eden Project Book (Paperback) with Rosie Martin

Devised by experienced teacher and award winning artist Rosie Martin, this course is based on the botanical illustration course taught at the highly acclaimed Eden Project in Cornwall.

Packed with practical information for illustrators of all abilities, this accessible guide uses simple instructions, easy to follow exercises and stunning illustrations throughout.

A wide range of subject is covered, from beautiful orchids and irises to more complex forms, such as pineapples and artichokes - including chapters on drawing white flowers and illustrating roots.

This course guides the reader through basic drawing techniques, such as pencil drawing and tones and shadows, to the more advanced watercolour techniques and skills required for botanical illustration, from dissection and bisection to creating detail, texture and perspective.
