Editorial Reviews

Review
The third book in the acclaimed 'Surfaces' series, this volume catalogues more than 1,200 colour photographs of surfaces and objects found in the natural world, from trees, shrubs, flowers and foliage to stone, sand, water and sky.

Product Description
An inspirational reference tool, Natural Surfaces catalogues hundreds of surfaces and objects found in the natural world for use by artists and designers who wish to draw on nature for imagery. The third book in the acclaimed Surfaces series, this volume contains more than 1,200 high-quality colour photographs of trees and shrubs, flowers, foliage, grass, fruits and vegetables, stone and sand, water and sky. Selected and organized by a designer for designers, the images offer detailed views as well as longer shots providing a wealth of source material to meet the research needs of all artists. An introduction by landscape designer Gordon Hayward discusses research and garden design, and interviews with landscape architect Laurie Olin, botanical illustrator Christabel King, and wildlife exhibition designer John Gwynne give insight into how these professionals use visual research in their work. A glossary, bibliography and lists of photo locations and research sources are provided, and a comprehensive index of the photographs makes it easy to find just the image you need.

5.0 out of 5 stars Once again... Amazing, August 18, 2005
This book is one of the best references for any designer and painter in the industry. Color Photos are amazing and complete. I have been wanting to purchase it for years now and am very glad to add it to my collection. All of her books are worth having in any artists library.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Resource Book, January 4, 2007
I bought this book as a resource for Theatre Design and it has proven to be a valuable asset. I can look through the photos in the book while researching and use the CD to put together presentations. The book's overall content is wide ranging and detailed, and is organized well. I would recommend this book to anyone in the arts, even if you don't use it for research, it's cool to look though.
