Released in September 2021, the book is in its second printing.

We are so excited to be nearing publication of this multi-year book project being called ‘the most thorough how-to available on every major technique of botanical artistry.’ A beautifully illustrated, one-of-a-kind practical guide to a variety of techniques used in botanical art and illustration, over 50 ASBA artists have contributed materials to the book. This essential reference features how-to tutorials for all the major techniques, moving from basic to applied to advanced, so the reader can build on their skills as they progress. Each tutor brings their unique working style to the book, demonstrating a variety of viewpoints and methods. It is also a beautiful book, with featured reproductions of artworks from around the world.
