Beautiful Book and Great Quality

Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2022

This used book arrived in amazing condition. One could say it was "like new". I'm very pleased with this purchase and even more so as the book is wonderfully illustrated and mesmerizing. Great for those who love plants and would like to know more about botany. Would buy from this seller again.

Beautiful & informative

Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2021

Just starting to get back into art working & liked the reviews on this book so went for it. It's beautifully bound, a great larger size, lots of variety within regarding both the scientific breakdown of various families of plants (and fungi!) as well as sections pertaining ideas for tackling each part of a plant & special considerations for prepping them for study/drawing & features to look for & enhance or tips on all of the above.

it's not snooty, over worked, dry or scrappily-done. Very beautiful book & love there are a variety of segments & divisions for anyone to be able to navigate interests within the book easily. Highly recommend :)

Lovely book for the botanical artist of all types of media. Chock full of photos and drawings of plants, flowers, fruits, tubers, roots and plant structure that gives you so many ways to approach the subject you want to capture. I'm new to nature journaling and am looking forward to this book helping me to see my subjects in a more complete way. There are also comprehensive guides to drawing, composition, color, perspective and so on which is so much more than expected. I love this volume and recommend it heartily to any artist wanting to up their game in the botanical genre.

Fantastic artist

Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2020

Verified Purchase

A fantastic book in all ways. Admittedly, it's an unusual hybrid: part instructional manual; part botanical art history; part straight-up botany; part portfolio of a great botanical artist. I bought it because I've wanted to learn to draw a bit better, not as an artist, but as an amateur naturalist. Sketching as a way of exploring, in the manner of John Muir Laws. Although it's not mainly a how-to manual, it is generous in offering advice ("drawing lessons") and in reflecting in great detail on the technique in the artist's own work and others'. Simblet's pen and ink work is so alive, and beautiful. It's hugely inspiring. Don't hesitate.

I had seen this book suggested in reviews on YouTube but thought it was a bit $$. When Amazon had a buy 2 get 3 sale I decided to order it. I was not sure when I took it out of the package because the cover is kind of underwhelming. The contents of the book does not disappoint however. It's very nice for artists or really anyone who loves botanical work. I appreciate the detail and variety.

Book was in perfect condition. I love Sarah Simblet's work. Her art has so much life to it, and she's great in explaining what she's doing (she's a teacher and it shows). Highly recommend.

This book is a beautiful thing to add to a collection. Really neat and you don’t have to be an artist to appreciate it. I like the tidbits of information regarding plants. The photos and everything is really neat.
