Linda's drawings for The Jepson Manual, 2nd Edition are finished, and this new volume is on the bookshelves! Linda is Principal Illustrator for this extensively revised California flora. Illustration plates have increased in number from 242 to 272, with numerous new drawings, corrections, and revisions to make their use easier. The image here is a detail of Polystichum kruckebergii, (named for Dr. Kruckeberg), part of the second plate of the manual. Click here to see more.
Look on the workshop page for other 2012 lectures, workshops, and shows, with several in Washington, Oregon, and California.
I will host an Introduction to Botanical Illustration Workshop on Lopez Island, WA, or at a location of your choice, if I have enough interest. For more information, email me at vorobik@gmail.com.
I have posted information for commissioned botanical illustrations. This would be of interest to botanists wishing to commission illustrations and to other illustrators interested in my fees or business procedure.
For teachers: I have posted a PDF for teachers to use, illustrating different types of inflorescences, or flowering stalks. And for those learning about botanical art, I have posted a botanical art annotated bibliography (first draft).
Happy exploring the wonderful world of plants & revelling in nature through art!
