The Art of Botanical Illustration; A Norfolk Island Pine by Angela Lober

[@SCORPIUSANCTUM]

Absolutely beautiful! Thank you algorithm gods for bringing this to me!

[@karencharleston9475]

Me too!

[@mrirurfkjsdo]

Wonderful artist, and poetic personality... Thx Angela for the meeting ! 😘🌿🌺

[@zeddnl6514]

This 13 minute video taught me a lot of techniques rather than the 1hr ones available online.

[@简澜]

At the end of the day, it’s still a skill to learn by hand not brain.

[@kava2021]

I am totally floored in the amount of details involved. I’m also impressed with the artistry of constructing a botanical illustration - researching, detailed pencil sketch and painting in watercolor using dry brushing techniques. As mentioned in one of the comments, so much is said on how to do a botanical illustration in 13 minutes than taking an hour long class.

[@lindyk7132]

The final touch - the stretching after painting, and that tip with the window glass - it quite a revelation to me. I always see people recomending stretching as a first step ( which I've tried and done, without getting the point of it because I'd get buckled paper anyway). Beautiful process to watch. Amazing technique and precision. Hats off! ❤

[@NatureFilmsByJohnKha]

This was amazing to watch a year ago and still fantastic to watch again. Much respect to Angela and the production team for producing this to share!

[@ShakespeareCafe]

Biological and medical illustration will always supercede photography with its exquisite sensitivity and detail...art meets science. That particular specimen of a Norfolk Island Pine is exquisite. If you're ever in San Francisco's Castro district there is a noble Norfolk within view of the Castro Muni Station if you're curious to see one in person

[@MewMew811]

bullshit. But anyway the point is photos give detail, drawings also interpret it. So in my field, we always draw, even without artistic skills

[@user-ex9dx7gt4o]

I’m a botanical artist and your work is fabulous. So enjoyed this video and watching you work.

You are the "First" - Botanical Artist, that has a huge name in this Artistry!!! Yours is the "accolade" of Botanical Art!!!

[@DaisyDebs]

I watched you do this some years ago and came back to watch it again this morning . It is fabulous ! 🌿🌿🌿

[@danthomas6587]

Nothing short of spectacular. Beautiful work.

[@Carlos_Lasmar_Valdes]

Her nice voice is an invitation to contemplate her wonderful illustrations. I love it.

[@leslienewman2052]

This was so mesmerizing to watch, she is a master artist. Incredible work!

[@GreenChile-v5m]

Norfolk Island Pines are splendid trees. I adore botanical art. I bought Art of Instruction an old educational charts. They are fantastic. She's astonishing. A master. Jaw dropping beautiful.

[@kathleengarness1660]

That's a spectacular piece. I believe you put easily 200 hours into it, including your preliminary and color studies. Congratulations!

[@DonoVideoProductions]

This is art. Breathtaking.

[@bizzybee852]

A very skilled and talented watercolor artist.

[@bastien7091]

I love so much this kind of illustrations

[@UknownWorlds]

Beautiful. Just makes me cry because of its beauty. Just beautiful.

[@tamerov2387]

[@az10821]

Beautiful artwork and so relaxing, love it. Thank you for sharing.

[@BlammorSybel]

This is the magic that attracts me to watercolor

[@helenannleeshung9028]

This is such incredible instruction ❤❤❤ Thank you so much !!

[@lm5542]

Yes she makes a good art teacher too❤

[@eienbeau]

This is seriously fascinating! What a masterpiece! Thank you for sharing this beautiful art.

[@GetYourPhilofArt]

Amazing. Love how she stretched her piece at the end.

[@ValeriaVincentSancisi]

Thank you for the narration of your process and Botanicl painting today... I love your take on the detail and agree with finding the personality of your specimen

[@connieebinger6343]

Oh my gosh! Absolutely stunning. I admire your patience, attention to detail and love for the plants!

[@LynnePriceStudio]

Beautiful, Angela. Your hard work and long hours are so worthwhile.

[@reaberilla7134]

I can't get "enough" of the knowledge this woman offers to the Botanical World! I have watched this episode for somewhat like 6 to 8 times now!

[@Jamie-Russell-CME]

Fantastic. Brilliant. Images of God, echoing divine creation in two dimensions.

[@deldridg]

Thank you for producing such a beautiful video. Art of this type is of the highest order and as a photographer, I am moved to witness the level of attention to detail and skill applied to creating such a work. It is very special to stand before artworks like these and now to have some insight into what goes into making them, I will have a deeper appreciation. Many thanks! David

[@zatoichimasseur6767]

Beautiful work, thank you for the lesson.

[@lilymcmillan5112]

SMASHING !! ....You are absolutely the best watercolor artist that I've ever seen !! There just isn't words grand enough to describe your talent.

[@dodoxasaurus6904]

Norfolk island pine is a favorite here in New Zealand too, absolutely beautiful tree; also splendid art as well

[@asyuki193]

I believe the way an artist paints really mirrors that artist's personality, I applaud this lady who has such a diligent and an elegant way of working, that sort of art requires considerable amount of patience and as someone who loves to paint with the moment rather than taking long times to plan out my piece I'm thoroughly impressed. I thrive to be more diligent the way I work and this has inspired me to work for that goal even more.

[@onthehill3381]

That is a very nice comment. I am a botanical illustrator and paint in a very detailed way. I have received comments over the years that I should “loosen up”. as if this style of painting is somehow undesirable. Every one has their own style and what is tight for them.

[@paulmurphy612]

Thank you for the video. I’m glad you spent time telling your viewers about the process.

[@isisriospitufin8528]

Hermoso✨️👏👏La araucaria crece en mi provincia Neuquen, es una especie prehistorica, que habita la zona vertebral de la Cordillera de los Andes...su fruto, el piñon, sale de una piña o cabeza... Bellisimo tu trabajo✨️👏👏👏La araucaria(femenino) y el Pehuen(masculino)

[@woodywood1951]

Your illustrations are as beautiful as Georges-Louis Leclerc de Buffon (1707-1788) illustrations. My father had some of them, and my sister and I inherited them.

[@regent260]

Most beautiful thing I've seen for ages. Can't stop looking at it.

[@dulcepalacios4148]

Thank you Angela, for sharing your beautiful and amazing work!!! 🌲🖌♥🍃🤗

[@luciaspilotros]

Finalmente alguém foi sincero sobre o tempo gasto para realizar um trabalho lindo como este. 200 horas...pelo que entendi. E também mostrou a técnica realizada de maneira honesta. Maravilhoso vídeo. Gratitude.

[@candyh2o]

Beautiful work, and thank you for sharing your talent with us.

[@robertjschroff6307]

The most scientific, accurate and superbly detailed botanical artwork what I've ever seen. Just amazing.

[@stringmanipulator]

How can 4 people left a thumbs down on this ??? .. it's incredible .. that's what it is ..wow

[@krankywitch]

Sadly, many people don’t realise they are doing it. When a ‘suggested’ video pops up in their feed, they tap Not Interested, are asked Why, and tap I Don’t Like The Video, which then applies a thumbs down. They do it thinking it will filter away similar videos, or those on the same topic, from their feed. It’s only a couple/three years since YT took away the Topic options, and this is the result - unwarranted thumbs down ☹️

[@joannefk4758]

Wow, I am in total awe!

[@Tugboat-R-Us]

Truly a work of art. So satisfying to watch ❤

[@debashri27]

There's so much care and work put into it. I'm overwhelmed just trying to think about taking on even a tenth of the work.

[@PaulineMilat]

So wonderful to watch your amazing artistic talent and allowing us to enjoy the intricate details of the Norfolk pine and cone…..thankyou from Pauline

[@hayleygeek]

I'm going to be starting a botanical art class and I am loving the inspiration on this platform. What a beautiful piece

[@nursdurkin]

Loved watching you go through this time-intensive labor of love! Wonderful!

[@sharonweeks3508]

Amazing and beautiful. I so wished I had what it takes to do something like this. Maybe not on such a grand size, but something that represents our Southeast Deserts in Arizona, USA. Thank you for your time and talent.

[@melaniehellum1281]

Wow .. What Zen like patients. Meticulous art form extreme beauty.

[@averilhenzell899]

I am inspired by you to have a go at Botanical Art. Your entire process, from collection of specimen to taping work on glass is the most enlightening watercolour video I have ever seen. Thank you & please do more videos.

[@bp.baniel4828]

this was such a calming and informative video, thanks for sharing!

[@fabianwatt4901]

Amazing art work and craftsmanship! What a beautiful way to appreciate nature and help preserving it (on paper and hopefully also in the field).

[@ezzmay2000]

Just absolutely beautiful art and attention to detail. I wonder if those higher parts of the trees could be accessed by a drone with a good camera mounted on it.

[@pipfox7834]

Erin the great thing about human beings, in this case, our eyes is: the human eye is still far superior to a camera lens. We are also able to view a flower from many angles, while painting it and thus we can bring everything into focus at once. Which a camera cannot yet do...not even the best of them!

[@ezzmay2000]

@@pipfox7834 totally agree with you there :)

[@이사랑-p3z]

Wow ~ I need patience this drawing. I admire you.

[@unicornpixels]

Absolutely beautiful. Very inspiring.

[@fajriyavpfajriya8229]

Ohhh..so brilliant painting... superb 👍

[@nicoy5917]

Her voice is calming..

[@cezary9778]

Impressive work, Angela, you shine through it.

[@rino70s]

[@Cruora]

Omg, it is so beautiful. Very careful and patient job. I admire it.

[@stephanieb1969]

What a beautiful work! I really love this video and your illustrations 😍

[@Rayzor714]

Brilliant! Thank you Ms. Lober & all involved.

[@debramoss2267]

Stunning, every intricate tiny detail, it's alive with the essence of the plant. Pulls together into a strident, powerful tribute. Artistic genius and excellent. Perfect. Thank you for this beauty and inspiration 🙏🏼

[@IrisMG]

Perfect. I've always wanted to see one of these types of drawings done start to finish. I wish the artist could have shown how she keeps her specimen alive long enough to sketch it, though

[@CristinaViviArt]

Beautiful! I'd love to be able to paint in such detail. Great skill!

[@MargThomson]

That was just wonderful, thank you 💖 What stunning work and so very informative xoxox

[@NotThatBob]

WOW! Miss Angela is a truly disciplined artist/scientist. I loved this video.

[@tatianawhite5207]

Andrea Lober you are my favorite superhero! I loved watching you create magic!

[@azuloceano]

Extraordinary work

[@crazytimes9989]

I have one in my family room for about 8 years and I thought it was big. But now I see how small it really is. I was so proud of my baby but she is stunted. She is still gorgeous to me.

[@SP-ki5gn]

Excellent, extremely informative.

[@joseandygonzalez5624]

Astonishing... Thanks for sharing your talent.

[@mrpeace8083]

[@richardbutler9692]

Excellently done. and thank you so much for sharing your skill and talent with us!

[@monicanataliarodriguezduar7121]

mis respetos que paciencia....perfeccionista

[@antonbradburn1960]

I think your work is exceptional and this video truly inspirational. I am also a botanical artist, but not in your league. I was in Sydney for a few days earlier this year and spent some time in the Royal Botanic Gardens. I may even have seen the very Norfolk Pine from which you collected your specimen. I wish I could have seen your work in person rather than mediated by video. Perhaps next time. Thank you so much for making and posting this video.

[@SHoltz-pn2sj]

Absolutly fantantastic!

[@SuzanneLegault]

Wow! Such a beautiful inspirational video

Very admirable dedication!

[@NatPaintThat]

Absolutely incredible!!!! I haven't had much of a chance to work with watercolor, this video is motivating!

[@bettyvillegas8258]

Amazing, just Beautiful !!!!

[@priyanvadagambhir1698]

What a wonderful video! Soothing effect of the voice over throughout the video is really good. How I wished to use the apparatus used by the artist so carefully. Great patience and lovely botanical painting. Thanks for sharing.

[@katazaz]

Wow, did you create your color charts that are first shown at about 6:13? Or are they something that can be obtained from the company? Or do you sell them? They're beautiful and would be so helpful and inspiring!!

[@user-dq2ym1nn9k]

She has definitely made that - and you can make one too! Plenty of youtube clips of how to pick a colour palette and paint a colour chart

[@pipfox7834]

yes colour charts are simple to do, if time consuming. Doing separate charts for each painting, if your flower is likely to die mid process, is very practical and is obviously only used for your own painting subject. In other words, no point buying someone elses colour charts.

[@JJBichos]

Exquisito... Un nivel de detalles extraordinario...
