Author Description

This stylishly 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. This collection of stunning flowers takes you on a journey across the continents, from Asia to South America and from Europe to Australia. As you produce your own interpretations of these fascinating blooms, allow your mind to wander around the globe and follow in the footsteps of botanists across the centuries.
