Botanical Illustrations

Botanical Illustrations by Siriol Sherlock, ISBN 071348862 (why can't APA/MLA be just the isbn? "orz)
in watercolour

lightbox it please. I've very impressed with photoshop's autolevel in fixing the terrible lighting.


Paeonia Suffruticosa
Did you know that the peony is my favourite flower? :] Perhaps drawing painting it all the time when I took art lessons was a reason.


Hex Aquifolium
Those glossy leaves...so amazingly depicted *u*


Physalis Alkekengi
The amount of details in the skeleton is mind blowing.


Hibiscus Rosa Sinensis
Loveeee the loose brushstrokes!


Agapanthus Praecox


Bluebells


Enkianthus Deflexus
Pencil sketching + watercolour = win.


Silene Dioica


Camellia Sasanqua

Oh I'll never have the patience and dexterity to be a botanical artist XD
