Renowned botanical artist and professional gardener, Carolyn Jenkins, combines her love of art and gardening to create stunning compositions, often very different from traditional botanical painting, with vibrant colours that leap from the page.

The first part of the book, Botanical: Grow, explores time well-spent in the garden and covers much of the traditional details of botanical painting, from observation to capturing light, colour, and texture.

The second part, Contemporary: Paint, explores how Carolyn works with photography, using the computer to help with crop and composition, achieving maximum impact and creating luminous paintings that shine from the page. Her stunning illustrations are full of vibrant colour, and her larger-than-life artworks have gained an enthusiastic following on Instagram.

This practical guide contains all the techniques and practice you need to create beautiful botanical art, plus step-by-step photography, crop, composition, and Photoshop demonstrations to bring luminous colours, textures, and impact to your own work.
