5.0 out of 5 stars Perhaps the most comprehensive book on the subject
Reviewed in Australia on 28 October 2020

There has been a plethora of botanical art instruction books published over the last few years, many of which I have purchased, and most of very good quality. Some cover specific media while others are more general. For instance, Botanical Illustration from Life by Isik Guner is probably one of the best recent books, and is just beautiful. But Botanical Art Techniques: A Comprehensive Guide (etc.) is a definitive work covering all media in much detail. There are tutorials from over 50 artists. It is beautifully presented and lavishly illustrated. I'm not sure how many of the other books in this genre I will retain, but I doubt that I would need to refer to any of them now that I have this volume. It is a true benchmark title in the field.

My Botanical Art tutor recommended this book to help me understand the multi faceted aspects of flora. I have looked in wonder at the beautiful detailed drawings. But most of all I’m looking forward to making time during the summer recess of my art classes to concentrate on the exercises.

Really interesting and useful examples of different artists working practices. Don’t expect a tutorial for beginners, but do expect lots of inspiration and helpful ideas. Decent print and image quality too so you can actually see sufficient detail.

5.0 out of 5 stars Porque regrese este excelente libro
Reviewed in Mexico on 19 May 2021

Parece raro esto, pero el libro es excelente. Que paso entonces? Pues resulta que los editores del libro tuvieron un pésimo control de calidad al encuadernar los libros. Es decir, que cuando recibí el libro, todo su exterior, su cubierta, bordes, lomo, estaban en excelentes condiciones, pero al revisarlo hoja por hoja cuando menos unas 20 a 25 hojas estaban muy arrugadas o rotas. Como digo esto no se notaba al verlo exteriormente. Es decir, que por falta de control de calidad o por negligencia lo dejaron como tal. Lástima¡ Para mi es un excelente fuente de consulta.
Ya Amazon gestionó mi reembolso y por supuesto lo volvere a comprara esperando que no me envien un defectuoso de nuevo.

3.0 out of 5 stars Botanical Art Techniques.
Reviewed in Germany on 19 April 2022

Das Buch ist superschön. Aber ich habe hier bewusst leider nur 3 Sterne gegeben, weil das Buch sehr kaputt hier angekommen ist und ich finde das man ein Buch in der Preisklasse in einem eiwandfreien Zustand erwarten kann. Zum Glück war es kein Geschenk für jemanden, aber auch ich selber hätte gerne ein gutes Exemplar bekommen. Vielleicht wäre hier mal eine andere Verpackung , anstelle des gepolsterten Briefumschlages besser gewesen.
Die Lieferung war wie geplant bei mir angekommen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastico anche se usato
Reviewed in Italy on 9 June 2022
Verified Purchase
Un libro super dettagliato, step by step di tutte le tecniche artistiche, per ottenere risultati realistici con relativo tempo di esecuzione. Vengono descritte anche tecniche non molto moderne e/o pratiche, ma comunque sempre molto valide se ci si vuol cimentare.
Libro comprato usato, quindi a prezzo ribassato, con dicitura copertina molto rovinata. In realtà aveva solo della colla sulla copertina posteriore che con un po’ di olio di gomito è tornato perfetto come nuovo.

Reviewed in Canada on 27 October 2020

This is an excellent overview of Botanical art with an incredible amount of good demos. A lot of light and effort went into each demo. This book is a good starting point for new botanical artists or experienced ones as well. Wonderful illustrations with many explanations. Well worth it!
