The Big Botanical Album. Drawing Flowers with Colored Pencils

«The Big Botanical Album» by Svetlana Lanse is an immersion into the amazing world of botanical art, where delicate magnolias, velvety poppies, and lush roses come to life with the help of an accessible artistic medium — colored pencils.

With this book, you will be able to:
- understand the basics of botanical art and learn how it differs from scientific botanical illustration;
- learn to work with color, volume, and texture of flowers and leaves, fruits and berries;
- master professional techniques: methods of hatching, pressure technique, blending, and more;
- independently color a series of botanical illustrations — from strawberries and poppies to artichokes, passionflowers, and pine cones.

Svetlana Lanse has been teaching botanical art for over 11 years and knows where beginners encounter difficulties. Therefore, each plant in the book is not just a beautiful picture, but a lesson: the poppy will teach you to depict the veins on the petals, the lemon — the texture of the peel, the rose — how to work with deep shadows. The ready-made outlines for coloring will serve as a reliable support, and the sensitive tips from the author will help you feel like a true botanical artist — regardless of your skill level!
