Today, botanical art is in its heyday. New materials and directions appear, expanding the possibilities of artists and allowing refreshing strict botanical illustration, bringing the plot, mood and emotions to the image. In this genre, gentle watercolors are created with a nostalgic touch of vintage, and ultra-modern hyperrealistic images, and momentary sketches that record the artist's personal observations, and complex works with virtuoso rendering of the finest details. Created by the professionals of the Association of Botanical Art Artists in the form of step-by-step workshops, this book will introduce you to the materials, techniques and types of botanical art, allowing you to choose what is right for you. We did not dwell only on traditional techniques, such as watercolor and pencils, and also turned to modern materials - liners and polymer clay, and even long-forgotten techniques, such as the "silver needle" and work on parchment. Tips will be useful for both amateurs and professional artists who decide to try themselves in a botanical path. We wish you creative success and inspiration!
