Now moving on to my artist research I want to start with the
illustrations of Maria Sibylla Merian. She was a very important illustrator in
her time as she was one of the first woman to illustrate the natural world. I
think her work has a distinct look and style even though it maintains it;s
scientific look. She used a mix of technique in her work but always seems to capture
the subject. I particularly like her use of colour as the palette in her work looks
natural but colourful. The shading techniques that she uses give her work an
almost cinematic quality, this gives the image more depth. Below are some examples
of Merian’s work.
