Publications

This book contains lessons that are developed in a basic step-by-step

process that builds in complexity. All demonstrations feature the
delicate, exquisitely rendered, botanically accurate work of the
author. A thorough immersion in the art of botanical drawing, this
book will attract both aspiring and more experienced artists seeking
scientific accuracy and the illusion of 3-dimension in their botanical
artwork. Based on author Wendy Hollender's classroom
 demonstrations at the New York Botanical Garden, "Botanical
Drawing in Color" is grounded in the basic principles of drawing as
they apply to the botanical forms of plants and flowers. Coloured
pencil techniques and colour theory are introduced to help artists
create realistic forms and naturalistic colours. An emphasis is placed
on close observation of plants and their life cycle, so that readers
can deepen their understanding of the natural world.
