How to Draw and Paint Wildflowers: Step-by-step (Draw Books) by keith-west. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781871569568.

This is an entirely practical step-by-step guide to the art of wild-flower painting written by a well-known botanical artist. Keith West, author of the best-selling How to Draw Plants; the art of botanical illustration and Painting Plant Portraits, has chosen twenty very varied subjects, including hedgerow favourites such as the honeysuckle and primrose, as well as less familiar plants, and shows how to capture their beauty and interest in a sequence of illustrations for each subject. Detailed information on how to draw plant structures is also given, together with an analysis of the techniques and equipment required in each medium used — pencil, ink, watercolour, and gouache. The result is a comprehensive and extremely attractive introduction to the subject. Suitable for the beginner as well as for those with some experience, it will appeal to everyone interested in wild flowers.
