BOTANICAL ILLUSTRATION FROM LIFE

My book, Botanical Illustration From Life, which I’ve been working on quite along is finally published!

It is the most exciting news and I’m quite happy to share my insights and experiences on botanical art with you through this book. I’ve been painting plants more than a decade and as a some kind of result, I started to write this book at 10th year. Hoping that it will guide you on your journey to learning and studying processes on the plants.

This book was full of beautiful illustrations on every page.The colour reproduction was excellent. There was a good number of step by step instructions which were very clear and informative. I always have trouble with leaves especially the veining. There was a very good section on that explaining the placement of shadows veins and so on. It was clear enough for beginners and detailed enough for more experienced botanical artists. I would highly recommend this book.

This is a brilliant book for anyone who is interested in the process of making botanical illustrations. Designed to appeal to artists, illustrators, botanists and plant lovers, it is written with warmth and generosity and a great love for plants. It's basically a how-to book but with all sorts of extra information, insights and observations from this highly regarded professional botanical artist and teacher. There are some great contributions from other experts too.
Full of beautiful illustrations, Isik Guner takes the reader on a delightful journey through all aspects of observing, drawing and painting plants for scientific accuracy and aesthetic appeal. The book makes a welcome contribution to the botanical artist's bookshelf in that the emphasis throughout the book is on making work from direct observations of living plants. Isik gives the reader lots of useful insights into the craft of working with these difficult subjects, including clear and detailed step-by step examinations of methods of creating botanical artworks. There is also some very wise advice for helping to think around problemmatic areas and knotty issues.
I recommend this book to anyone who loves art and plants. In particular, I urge all students, practioners and enthusiasts of botanical art to rush out and buy a copy!
