Botanical Watercolor
Creating botanical watercolor illustrations brings together painterly practice and the scientific study of plants and flora. Since the 18th century, watercolor has been one of the most widely used techniques for capturing the beauty and fine details of botanical specimens, achieving a level of subtlety and elegance that surpasses many other media.
These illustrations are created primarily from live specimens collected in the field, which are later carefully studied in terms of their size, color, and form before being translated into this illustrative format.
