Illustration | Botanical Annie

Annie Patterson's original botanical paintings are watercolour on paper and on vellum.

Subjects range from tulips to cabbages and each painting is unique and painted from a 'real' plant and can take many hours/weeks of work.

If you are interested in a botanical painting or commissioning a plant portrait, please contact me using the form on the contact page and I will send a list of available work.
