Full of excellent info on drawing leaves, in detail. I like books that explain ‘why’. I really like this book!”

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 May 2026
“Well, I have been really enjoying another book to learn all about leaves which was something I knew I needed to learn for my painting projects and after all I do love trees and as trees have leaves I wanted to learn how to draw and paint them much better.”

 

From Goodreads: Colour for Botanical Artists and Illustrators

Colour for Botanical Artists and Illustrators book - Leigh Ann Gale
October 12, 2025
“A great book on a particularly niche topic, this has a rich trove of information on diverse subjects, such as: the cultural meanings of color; biological perception of color; Munsell’s color system; and how to match colors so your painting is accurate. It contains a troubleshooting chart of common problems and possible solutions, specific color challenges for Botanical Illustration (such as translucent layers, or bloom on plums), and an in-depth tutorial for each color family. I learned quite a bit.”
All of Leigh Ann’s books, are available for purchase in her Shop.
