PART 2/2 My Favourite [Modern] Botanical Art Books!

** ALL LINKS BELOW **
Hi Everyone, as per many of your requests including Irit's here are my favourite botanical art books. Main focus will be on modern botanical art but also on the traditional, as well as great books for photo reference! It's a long video so I had to separate it in to two parts to make it more convenient to watch. Enjoy! :)

The books look awesome! I must make space on my bookshelves for some of those books, especially the Flora book by DK. DK books in general are always very good, very clear, and educational with stunning illustrations.

Thank you for sharing 🥰 I learned something new 💖

[@milaronyartgallery4667]

I am a graphic designer and I was looking for flower/botanical books for inspiration. I was shopping on Amazon when I came across the small Flower Colour Guide book and now I know I will benefit from ordering a copy. Thanks for the review.

[@iritlandgraf]

Thank you again for posting these videos, I hope they will help others too, as there are soooo many books out there and its' really hard to find the right ones for you. I ADORE that roses book, and as you probably guessed, the looser illustrations, but also the finished paintings, the color stories are just incredible. I think I will have to pick that one up. THANK YOU!!

Irit Landgraf I was surprised I haven’t done a book review for it yet as I couldn’t find it in my Book Reviews Playlist when editing yesterday! 😅

[@AlyonasWatercolourCreations]

And glad you enjoyed it! ❤️

[@iritlandgraf]

@@AlyonasWatercolourCreations I remember when you showed it when you got it, or when you did a gift guide? Because it was on your channel. I think it's mostly an eye candy inspiration book so maybe doesn't warrent a full review... I wish she shared more tutorials!

Love your videos

[@inkyfingers1045]

I would love to see a video where you use your markers. I have been on the fence about buying some.

[@fandangofandango2022]

Wonderful

[@yuliiazotova7482]

Thank you for your book review videos! They are very useful for making a shopping list for books. P.S. In my opinion, pulling out the last book "Plants" you sounded very in Russian (Оооой) :)

[@eyemakeuplooks]

Brilliant video series! Check out in bloom by rachel reinhart. I just bought it to learn illustrations..btw I too was super disappointed by the ali book..
