All illustrations are painted in watercolor on Fabriano paper, 300 gsm. I still have an old batch of my favourite paper, Fabriano 5! I always work from live specimens and with scientific support from experts in the species. Plants are drawn and painted life size. Paintings will be delivered without mounts and frames, and will be sent with a certificate with your name. The prices include postage.
If you would like to have a closer look, the original paintings can be seen at Evin Art Gallery, Istanbul.
