■ Anyone can do vegetable botanical art.

'difficult.
complicated.
'You have to have talent.' This is what people who are new to botanical art often think.
The detail and precision of drawing each line and completing it as if it were a real thing makes you think, "I don't think I can do it," before even starting to draw the lines.
However, with 『Vegetable Botanical Art』, anyone can easily start botanical art.


『Vegetable Botanical Art』 starts from a beginner's perspective.
The book carefully explains with detailed photos and explanations which tools to choose, how to draw lines and build up colors with colored pencils, how to depict plant details, and how to create a sense of three-dimensionality.
Additionally, since you need to have a sufficient understanding of the subject you want to draw to be able to draw more precisely, you can build a solid foundation in botanical art by learning about the structure of plants, the structure of flowers and leaves, and the classification of crops through various examples.

■ Vegetable botanical art can be used to draw any fruit or vegetable.

『Vegetable Botanical Art』 contains a total of 25 methods for drawing fruits and vegetables.
According to the classification of crops, it is divided into fresh fruits, berries, true fruits, false fruits, fruit vegetables, stem vegetables & bulb vegetables, leaf vegetables, and root vegetables. The beginner level includes tomatoes, bananas, carrots, etc., and the intermediate level includes cherry tomatoes, pineapples, kohlrabi, etc., fruits and vegetables that we can easily find around us.

All the designs for the works in the book are included, so you can start creating botanical art right away by just going through the transcription process without having to sketch separately.
Large process photos help you see which parts to paint and how, and color chips are displayed for each text so you can see the color changes at a glance.
Additionally, the pages containing coloring techniques are displayed so you can quickly find them, and the author's tips are generously included to help you create even more complete works.

■ Vegetable botanical art goes beyond a hobby and provides a time of healing.

If you focus solely on drawing fruits and vegetables, you will find yourself absorbed in the drawing, with distracting thoughts disappearing before you know it.
If you spend just a few hours with 『Vegetable Botanical Art』 during a complex and thought-provoking day, that time will become your own personal healing time.

In our busy lives, we definitely need some time to refresh.
A little bit of free time allows you to break free from one task, gain new perspectives and thoughts, and gain the strength to move on to the next.
Not only can you relieve stress from school, work, household chores, and other various reasons, you can also forget about frustration and depression through botanical art.
You can also use your own completed works as interior decorations to change the atmosphere of your home, so 『Vegetable Botanical Art』 is not just a book for hobbyists, but a healing book that soothes the weary mind.
