Now I can call myself a Botanical Artist even though my drawing skills are almost non-existent.? This book documents my methods, not as projects for the readers to follow, but as an explanation of the results of my experiments, in the hope that others might build on them and discover even better ways to create 3-dimensional Botanical Studies.
