The Kew Gardens Beautiful Flowers Colouring Book : Over 40 Beautiful Illustrations Plus Colour Guides

This gracefully illustrated colouring book features artworks of plants from around the world taken from the archive of Curtis´s Botanical Magazine, the world´s most enduring and respected periodical of its kind, published by Kew. There are 44 line artworks for you to colour in, each accompanied by the artist´s original watercolour plate. Drawn from life, these images show the detail, colour and tone of the actual plant. They will inspire you to produce increasingly accurate representations while bringing your own personal touch to the subject. In addition, for anyone interested in botany and learning the history behind these beautiful flowers, a list of plates details the name of the person who discovered each plant. When you have completed this wonderful collection, you will have an exquisite portfolio of illustrations to treasure and enjoy.
