Drawn To Colour - Floral Still Life
RRP $16.49
If you are 'Drawn to Colour' then this collection of images offers a fine art approach to you as a colourist. Rather than a uniform dark line to fill in, each unique still life has been arranged and photographed within the studio and then hand drawn in pencil. Printed in grey, this gives a natural delicacy to the drawings enabling you to create expressive, beautiful and personal artwork.
The Constant Artist brings you 16 drawings, traced from original still life compositions. Each is printed with greyscale guides, hints, tips & suggestions on the facing pages. The drawing plates are printed on one side only so you may remove them to frame if desired.
The old masters in workshops across Europe would have had numerous studio assistants working to their behest mixing pigments and painting drapes etc. while the artist decided on subject matter and colour. Think of this book and website as your studio assistants - there to enable you to create your own work of art.
Flora Capensis 7 Volume Set In 10 Pieces
RRP $35.00
This seminal publication began life as a collaborative effort between the Irish botanist William Henry Harvey (1811-66) and his German counterpart Otto Wilhelm Sonder (1812-81). Relying on many contributors of specimens and descriptions from colonial South Africa - and building on the foundations laid by Carl Peter Thunberg, whose Flora Capensis (1823) is also reissued in this series - they published the first three volumes between 1860 and 1865. These were reprinted unchanged in 1894, and from 1896 the project was supervised by William Thiselton-Dyer (1843-1928), director of the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew. A final supplement appeared in 1933. Reissued now in ten parts, this significant reference work catalogues more than 11,500 species of plant found in South Africa. Volume 1 opens with a preface which clarifies the project's original scope.
The European Garden Flora Flowering Plants
RRP $583.99
The European Garden Flora is the definitive manual for the accurate identification of cultivated ornamental flowering plants. Designed to meet the highest scientific standards, the vocabulary has nevertheless been kept as uncomplicated as possible so that the work is fully accessible to the informed gardener as well as to the professional botanist. This new edition has been thoroughly reorganised and revised, bringing it into line with modern taxonomic knowledge. Although European in name, the Flora covers plants cultivated in most areas of the United States and Canada as well as in non-tropical parts of Asia and Australasia. Volume 4 contains accounts of 82 families, mostly rather small, but including the Primulaceae (with Primula as its largest genus) and Ericaceae (with Rhododendron, the largest genus in the Flora).
