Reviews for Colour for Botanical Artists and Illustrators

This is one of the most thorough guides I have seen. It has a depth that makes it both invaluable and, I believe, unique. Providing a deep knowledge and understanding, this is essential reading for any serious flower painter. -- Henry Malt - The Artist reviewer * The Artist * Leigh Ann’s style is clear and packed with knowledge - it is evident that her teaching experience has informed the tutorials and examples that she has chosen to include. I would recommend this for anyone who wishes to improve their underlying and scientific knowledge of colour, and for those who like books with clear tutorials to follow in order to improve their own practice. I like to have a deeper understanding of the materials and techniques I am using, and this book certainly gave me that. -- Elanor Wexler, Association of Botanical Artists * Association of Botanical Artists *
