This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

Flowers and Foliage: Creating contemporary botanical art explores the always popular subject matter of botanical art. This is a beginner's guide to creating contemporary botanical art for everyone who loves flowers: tulips, sunflowers, orchids and many more.

Fantastic ice-breaker exercises include:
* drawing with the non-dominant hand
* blind contour exercise to test hand-eye coordination
* drawing a flower upside down to practise observational skills to draw what you see rather than your perceived idea of what a flower looks like.

To help guide readers and budding artists to create their own amazing botanical art, each activity includes:
* step-by-step imagery,
* flower diagrams with labels
* original commissioned photography

The projects include working with different media: watercolour pastel pencil ink and use a range of popular flowers as inspiration. With a focus on appreciating nature and making time to play, this simple introduction makes the beloved style of botanical art accessible to all.
