Sketching Nature: The Beginner’s Guide to Keeping a Botanical Sketchbook
by Dianne Sutherland
by Dianne Sutherland
IN BRIEF: Having written comprehensive books about Botanical Illustration and Colour for botanical artists, Leigh Ann Gale has turned her attention to the much neglected topic of "Leaves". I've always been of the opinion that you can always tell an RHS Gold Medal winning exhibit by the quality of the painting of the leaves. Her book considers methods and techniques for observing, drawing and painting leaves accurately so that they look believable and naturalistic.
This book will become an essential read for all artists who want to understand the role of leaves and to depict them accurately.

SCOPE
Many artists struggle to stop leaves looking flat in their illustrations or find it challenging to mix shades of green accurately to reflect a true likeness to foliage. This book addresses these problems and many more to help you draw and paint leaves successfully and confidently. Written by a leading botanical artist and tutor, it explains
It also examines the important role that leaves play in the plant kingdom, including modified and adapted forms, so that your artwork accurately reflects the science. |
