Botanical Painting with Coloured Pencils<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

A 128-page hardcover book by Ann Swan.<\/p>\n

\"Botanical<\/a><\/p>\n

Water-soluble and oil-based coloured pencils are becoming increasingly popular for botanical painting as they are easier to use than traditional watercolour and are more forgiving, yet they produce the same stunning effects. They are especially suitable for the accuracy needed to paint in the botanical style of illustration. In this book Ann Swan gives helpful advice on all aspects of working with coloured pencils, including the techniques you will have to master – underpainting, layering and burnishing. She also demonstrates how to mix and build up colour, and how to add those finishing touches that will complete your painting successfully. Several full step-by-step demonstrations are included to show how these techniques are put into practice. The book concludes with a gallery of coloured pencil works by the author, students of botanical painting and other professional botanical painters, providing a wonderful source of reference and inspiration.<\/p>\n

Ann is passionate about coloured pencils, believing that they are easy to master, forgiving and accessible so that even a complete beginner can soon produce work of quality. She has been teaching botanical drawing with coloured pencils for 15 years, both in the UK and abroad, and runs workshops throughout the year at her studio in Wiltshire.<\/p>\n
