Exotic Botanical Illustration
With The Eden Project Book
With Rosie Martin & Meriel
Thurstan

This latest in the Eden
Project series on
botanical painting is
perhaps the best
yet. Billed as 'exotic'
and featuring a Bird of
Paradise flower on the
front cover, it could
easily be mistaken for a
niche publication of
interest to specialists
only. Further
investigation reveals
that many of the subjects
are far from unfamiliar,
with studies of orchids,
the Venus fly trap and
even pumpkins and
artichokes hardly
stretching
credibility. Beneath all
this, however, is a
thoroughly sound guide to
all the techniques of
botanical illustration in
both watercolour and
coloured pencil.
Everything is clearly
explained and beautifully
illustrated (as we've
come to expect from Rosie
and Meriel) and there are
demonstrations and detail
paintings wherever
they're needed. Sound
advice abounds, from
familiarising yourself
with your plant and
understanding colour to
the use of washes and
techniques for capturing
bloom and
sheen. Although the
subject matter here is
not perhaps that of the
completely well-trodden
path, this book is
nevertheless one of the
best guides to botanical
illustration there
is. Author: Rosie
