A beautifully illustrated visual guide to botanic watercolour painting from life.

• Learn how to observe plants in the wild and take live specimens

In this beautiful book, award-winning botanical artist, Isk Güner, shares her experiences of looking at wild species from around the world, how she does her research, and how she composes her illustrations from live specimens. She shows readers how to look for plant samples and then record them. Straddling the scientific and art worlds, Isik’s illustrations help to raise awareness of the valuable knowledge that scientists have been researching and discovering for many years and provide a wonderful inspiration for budding botanical artists.

Another one of my favourites, this is such a stunning book and one that you could have on permanent display on your coffee table just to enjoy and admire.
