Product Description

Synopsis
A visual celebration of the best in botanical art. Featuring rare, unpublished works from such renowned 19th-century masters as P.J. Redoute, Augusta Withers, Jane Loudon and Walter Hood, this volume contains examples and techniques for capturing the beauty of flowers on paper. Jack Kramer discusses simple botany basics and how they relate to drawing flowers. He demonstrates how the masters took "artistic licence" in their floral interpretations and presents an overview of the golden age of floral art (1848-1880). Within this, Kramer reveals the specific flowers the master artists were especially known for, such as Redoute's roses and H.G. Moon's orchids. A special section features actual how-to-draw flower books from the 19th century, complete with ready-to-use templates for copying anemones, clematis, dahlias, daisies, daffodils and many more flowers.
