Summary

The techniques of botanical illustration in watercolour can often appear complicated and laborious, but award-winning botanical illustrator Siriol Sherlock breathes new life into botanical painting, using simpler techniques that produce beautiful works with great realism. The author covers the various materials, as well as the traditional and more experimental techniques, in a straightforward style. The text is complemented by an array of stunning illustrations of both finished work and paintings at key stages.
