Transparent watercolour is ideal for painting plants. The white of the paper shines through the colour, creating a luminous effect. In this volume Eleanor Wunderlich shows the watercolour artist how to recreate the colours and textures found in nature. Flowers, fruits, vegetables, bulbs, ferns, vines and shrubs are all represented in exquisite drawings, paintings and demonstrations. In addition, Wunderlich offers advice on how to keep ferns and flowers from wilting before the picture is finished, how to mix the special colours often needed for depicting plants, and how to design a drawing that includes heavy foliage or multiple stems.
