Drawing and Painting Plants is a practical manual on how to paint a vast range of plants in a wide range of media. Drawing on her experience as a botanical art teacher, Christina Brodie takes a holistic approach to botanical art. She covers botanical terminology; drawing and painting techniques; dissection and examination of plants; fieldwork studies; microscope work and tips on presentation of your work. Included are chapters on Trees, Fungi, and Flowerless Plants.

The clear step-by-step instructions are illustrated with Christina’s own work which serves as an inspiration. Having been taken through the various techniques in clear steps, you will be able to draw and paint plants with remarkable precision and detail.

Christina Brodie is a graduate from the Winchester School of Art, and was awarded RHS Gold Medals in 2003 and 2005.
