Abstract

"This book will introduce and depict the artistic process, illuminated by award-winning wildlife artist, Linda Feltner. According to Feltner, it all begins with curiosity and obsessively close observation of the subject, which moves to the creation of loose sketches and drawings, and culminates in a finished artwork, or the "final" stage. While it is not a how-to manual, the book does pull together drawing basics and more intermediate and advanced design skills to demonstrate how to use these in the creative process. There are seven chapters that build on each other to incorporate new techniques and concepts. It is designed so that the reader feels as if they're opening Linda's field notebooks, following her own creative process. The book will encourage new and established artists to take risks, develop their own powers of observation, and free their artistic endeavors from the expectation of a final, finished product. Each page is filled with stunning sketches or fantastic final artworks"--

Abstract

This book is the first in-depth study of eighteenth-century botanical illustrations, and its findings offer a completely new insight into the working practices of the botanists and scientific draughtsmen of this period. The author describes the different production stages of these illustrations, traces their uses by means of the private correspondence of participants and the documentation of the learned societies and academies, and explores their visual language, with particular emphasis placed on the difficult issue of colour. Finally, and for the first time, the author presents a convincing description of how these botanical illustrations developed, ascertaining the criteria that drove this process, which was arrived at through a careful study of the many copying links that the author discovered existed between images of the same species -- a sophisticated strategy that fulfilled the exacting requirements of eighteenth-century scientific botanical illustrations.

Abstract

This is the story of Celia Rosser, the internationally acclaimed botanical illustrator, who ultimately dedicated her life to painting the entire genus of Banksia, the only artist to have done such a thing. Celia's dedication to the task put her at the center of the Monash Banksia Project, underwritten by Monash University (Australia) for 25 years and culminating in the production of an extraordinary three-volume florilegium that became one of the great books published in the 20th century. This is also the story of the emergence of an artist who grew up in difficult circumstances during the Gre
