Thanks for your review! I'm just starting to get into botanical art mainly with watercolor and coloured pencils. I was wondering what you think about the Botanical Art Techniques by the American Society of Botanical Artists if you have read that book.
You just made my day! I love your book reviews! Informative and honest ! Thank you 🙏 p.s. you should be a hand model! 😍 I get what you’re saying about beginners learning from the best but as a beginner I feel this book would be difficult for me to follow because I can’t draw...what do you think 🤔?
I prefer watercolour to pencil, because I think that using pencil is a big waste of pigment. This is my impression. I love the work of this artist, even if I think that she has a soft, velvet style that in some subjects is stunning, for others subjects (the leaves of the apple tree) I prefer a more 'sharp' style, like Anna Mason or Rosie Sanders. I think the second part would be interesting for painting in a velvet style
@@demi3115 sorry, perhaps I didn't express myself right...I mean that if you use coloured pencils instead of watercolour, if you sharpen the pencil many times in order to have a perfect point, you don't use that pigment, you throw it away. If you paint in watercolour you don't waste anything and I suppose that it's cheaper...isn't it?

Arabesque Jacob I find that sometimes imitation is a good starting point. :)
Is this your favorite for beginners?

Curious why youl would say that pencils are a waste of pigment??????????? That doesn't make any sense.
