    About this ebook

    This is the story of one woman's journey from amateur painter to botanical artist, told through the sketchbooks and paintings she produced for the Distance Learning Diploma Course run by the Society of Botanical Artists. Packed with advice and tips, this book will serve as a guide and inspiration to anyone wanting to embark on life as a botanical artist.

    This book is both a showcase of Mary Ann Scott's work and a record of her achievements, including first-hand accounts of the joys and challenges she faced as she progressed. It contains work from every assignment she undertook, from her first attempts at drawing a tulip to the triumphant paintings she made for her diploma portfolio. Along the way are delicate floral compositions, juicy fruit and vegetables, botanical dissections, and her adventures out in the field.

    Margaret Stevens's comments on each assignments are also included, giving an insight into the assessment process and an all-round view of Mary Ann's successes and (very rare) failures. The book ends with a glorious selection of Mary Ann's ongoing work as a botanical artist.

      If you're interested in becoming a dedicated botanical artist or illustrator (or simply a very accurate naturalist or nature journalist), this book is eye candy and thought provoking at the same time. Reading about Mary Ann Scott's work ethic and determination is inspiring, while seeing the progression of her work from that same sheer determination is motivating. If only you could harness just a little bit! Seeing the remarks and grading from Margaret Stevens and the SBA course instructors is very enlightening, especially if you're interested in taking this demanding and highly-specialized course. Reading this on Scribd desktop was surprisingly pleasant, with very few formatting errors. All text was easy to read and the illustrations were glowing and correctly sized. Now I feel I need to add this to my physical library so that I can pour over it again and again!
