Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:
I am interested in preparing 3D (stereoscopic) illustrations of plants and flowers. Can you give some contacts with botanical illustrators for guidance? Are there any guidelines about botanical illustrations? ThanksANSWER:
I am going to refer you to several organizations who would have someone who could answer your questions. They are:
American Society of Botanical Artists
Philadelphia Society of Botanical Illustrators
New England Society of Botanical Artists
Guild of Natural Science Illustrators
Someone in one of these organizations should be able to help you.
