Artist/author, Wendy Hollender, has created a workbook that speaks directly to new illustrators. Novice illustrators can work with confidence as Hollender guides them patiently through each exercise. Hollender provides step-by-step instruction in how to create tone, how to draw apples & tulips, and how to apply color theory to workbook exercises.
Pre-order this book now through Monday March 10, 2008 at ArtPlantae Books and receive a signed copy of Botanical Drawing: A Beginner’s Guide for $50, plus shipping & handling. This offer applies only to the soon-to-be-released second edition of this workbook containing acid-free drawing paper (the first edition contained drawing paper and hot press watercolor paper). In this workbook, Hollender’s instruction and demonstrations are presented on colored pages above the book’s binding with practice areas and drawing paper below the binding.
Wendy Hollender is the coordinator of the Botanical Art and Illustration program at the New York Botanical Garden. She teaches botanical art at the New York Botanical Garden, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Westchester Arts Workshop, and leads workshops in exotic locations such as Trinidad, Block Island and Hawaii.
