About the Author
Interesting and informative, yet--- At first look and touch, I was disappointed by this book. I have come to expect anything coming from the SBA and Margaret Stevens to be of the highest quality, which this book didn't seem to be. Yet, as I began reading, I discovered it to be full of information and insight on the artwork inside. Margaret's knowlege shines through and is the redeeming factor, and I am enjoying it more than I expected to.. Five Stars Amazon Customer Great product.. irin teresh said I expected the bigger. I expected the bigger. the book doesn't open nuances of a botanical illustration, in it there are no practical instructions how to achieve the best results in botanical painting, there are notes it seems "drawing causes difficulties in students primrose leaves", but aren't present a way of overcoming of these difficulties.It is difficult to use the book and as the collection of botanical illustrations for inspiration: quality of the press leaves much to be desired. Pictures small by the size, specification small. The outline drawings similar to sketches of the beginning artist were special surprising
Clark's classic botanical handbook receives a handsome twenty-first-century update by the former president of the Society of Botanical Artists. Ernest E. It's a fantastic reference for artists seeking both a guide to accurate botanical drawing and an inspiration for their own work. Now extensively revised, this stunning volume showcases more than 60 favorite flowers and plants, each illustrated with detailed botanical drawings and a painting, along with background on technique and composition. Plants include: Anemone • Ash Tree • Buttercup • Daisy • Dandelion • Dahlia • Gladiolus • Holly • Ivy • Lily • Mistletoe • Oak • Rose • and many more!
