The Kew Gardens Botanical Artist: Learn to Draw and Paint Flowers in the Style of Pierre-Joseph Redoute - Kew Gardens Arts & Activities
Francoise Balsan
Learn how to paint beautiful works of botanical art from one of the masters of the genre. As official court artist to Queen Marie-Antoinette and then to Empress Joséphine, the wife of Napoléon Bonaparte, Pierre-Joseph Redouté was known as 'the Raphael of flowers', so fine and precise was his work. In this fully illustrated book, Françoise Balsan guides readers through the processes that Redouté perfected, using step-by-step instructions to explain how you, too, can create delightfully realistic images of plants and flowers. Inside, you will find: Advice on equipment and preparing watercolour paints; focused projects to build up your expertise; tips on achieving different painting effects; guidance on perspective and presenting the results of your work. Endorsed by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, whose archive of botanical art is one of the world's foremost collections, The Botanical Artist shows how anyone can improve their technique and produce amazing results.
