Summary: I love this book.
Comment: As a new botanical illustrator working in mostly in watercolor I have often found rendering realistic fine detail and texture a difficult and frustrating task. This marvelous book introduces the artist to a new approach that produces detail and textural effects that are both effective and fairly easy to achive.
The illustations are beautiful and the explanatory text is clear, to the point, and easy to follow. The book is well organized; starting with the various pen and ink methods and how they can be combined with watercolor techniques. This is followed by the demonstration of how these techniques can be applied to achive realistic rendering of multitudes of surface textures from apples to zebras and almost everything in between..

Summary: Excellent Book
Comment: There is a lot of very useful information in this book. Many of the author's techniques are broken down so even the begginer can achieve some very nice work. Her pictures are beautiful and give the artist something to strive for. As a beginner I found this book very helpful and would highly recommend it
