Botany for the Artist is a gorgeous reference for plants. The pages are filled with a mix of photographic plant portraits and Sarah Simblet's detailed sketches. Everything's beautifully laid out. The exquisite illustrations in the book are mainly black and white.
As with typical DK books, it's also filled with educational information. Every part of the plant is explored, from the roots, stems, leaves, flowers to the fruits. They are provided with scientific names...more
Detailed, diverse, stunning and inspirational
This book is chock full of information, examples, instructions, directions, historical illustrations, science, etc. What I didn't find in it was inspiration. The fault probably lies with me, not the book.
