Today a botanical art experiences the period of bloom. New materials appear and directions, extending possibilities of artists and allowing to refresh strict botanical illustration, introducing in an image a plot, mood and emotions. In this genre tender water-colours are created with the nostalgic raid of винтажности, both ultra-modern hyperrealistic images and momentary sketching fixative personal supervisions of artist, and difficult works with the masterly drawing of the thinnest details. This book created by the professionals of Association of Artists of Botanical Art as incremental masterclasss will acquaint you with materials, techniques and types of botanical art, allowing to choose that befits exactly to you. We did not begin to decide only on traditional techniques, such as a water-colour and pencils, and also appealed to modern materials - линерам and polymeric clay, and even to the receptions forgotten a long ago, such as a "silver needle" and work on parchment. Advices will be useful to both the amateurs and professional artists deciding to try itself in botanical стезе. We wish creative successes and inspiration to you!
