This film shows the whole process involved in creating an illustration, from getting reference through composition sketches, and up to completing the watercolour botanical illustration of the Cuckoo flower.
There is a sister film showing me illustrating the Orange-tip butterflies - please check it out too:

This is because having the entire process as one film became impossible - it was way too long!
This is filmed in real time with commentary by Lizzie who explains her processes and talks at length about the Cuckoo flower (also known as Ladies-smock) Cardamine pratensis, as she paints.
The accompanying video, showing the illustration of the orange tip butterfly, will follow in a couple of weeks
Links to equipment and things mentioned in the film are listed below.
