This 32-page watercolour e-booklet is a resource for botanical artists to learn how to see and interpret the intensity of the colour red in its many forms in nature. And having achieved colour intensity for colour-matching purposes, the challenge is then how to maintain intensity through the painting process, while controlling a wide value range that is essential to the realism required of the genre.

In summary, this e-booklet covers:

• The search for and the use of the colour red in art through the pages of history.
• Exploration of different pigments available to artists for maximising colour intensity.
• Ways to make the colour-matching process easier.
• Understanding of how composition is impacted by the colour red.
• Ways in which well-known contemporary artists share their struggles and successes with red.
• An approach to working with purely transparent red pigments.
