This is a botanically based (as opposed to free-form drawing) practical manual on how to paint a vast range of plants in watercolour and other media. Drawing on her experience as a botanical art teacher, Christina Brodie takes a holistic approach to botanical art, covering: botanical terminology; drawing and painting techniques in a wide range of media; dissection and examination of plants; fieldwork studies; microscope work and tips on presentation. Having been taken through the various techniques in clear steps, the reader will be able to draw and paint flowers, fruit, leaves, stems and roots, trees, fungi, ferns and horsetails, seaweeds and other algae, mosses and lichens with remarkable precision and stunning detail.

This does not compromise or cut corners and it's refreshing in an age when books are increasingly becoming commodities... that there is still someone out there who is prepared... to go the extra mile to produce books for the serious student. * Artbookreview.net * A good mix of inspiration and education, with gorgeous illustrations, as you might expect. * Publishing News * This new and authoritative book is a welcome change of direction... For the artistic plant lover, it's a real treat. * The Artist *
