Book Overview

Watercolor Botanicals is a project book published in 2019 by Abrams Noterie, an imprint of ABRAMS. It features twenty projects based on plants such as begonias and cacti, with detailed guidance on which watercolors to use and how to mix them.

Why This Book Matters

This book makes botanical watercolor accessible to everyday painters, with projects that can be completed on a Sunday afternoon or after work. It connects observation of natural flora with the joy of experimental painting.

Nikki Strange’s practice draws on inspiration from classic designers such as William Morris and from plant life encountered across Morocco, Cambodia, Indonesia, California, and India. This gives the book a rich, global perspective on botanical art.
