This elegant colouring book features artworks of flowering plants taken from the archive of Curtis's Botanical Magazine, the world's most enduring and respected periodical of its kind, published by the Royal Botanic Gardens, 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 and will inspire you to produce increasingly accurate representations while at the same time exploring the remarkable variety of botanical form. For anyone with an interest in botany and flowering plants, this book contains images to savour and treasure and promises hours of stimulation and pleasure. ABOUT THE SERIES: Arcturus Publishing and The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew have collaborated to create a wonderful selection of botanical-themed arts, crafts and activity books, including origami, dot-to-dots and colour-by-numbers.
