Botanical Illustrations
Botanical illustration — the art of depicting the form, color, and details of plants — is one of my favorite subjects.
The discipline has such a rich and interesting history, always striking a balance between scientific accuracy and artistic expression. I really love working with watercolor, which is the most frequently used medium for botanical illustration, even though other techniques offer great opportunities too!
Take a look at these projects featuring botanical illustrations:
This non-fiction book for children aged seven and over invites little city dwellers to walk through Hamburg with their eyes open, explore unknown corners of their city and learn a lot of new things about plants.
For a botanical specimen book, I created more than 120 paintings of local plants, a selection of which is presented here.
