This book conveys as reference for the porcelain painter, just a sprinkling of Australiana to those who desire to paint Nature's wonders of this big country. The colours of the outback are so clear and bright yet so soft, like nowhere else.
The Australian bush is particularly delightful to sketch - gum trees and gum blossom are a familiar sight. There are at least 400 specimens of Eucalypts ranging from mallees to giant Karris. Some notable ones are included in this book, including Snow Gums of the Southern Alps, the Ghost Gums of Central Australia and Eucalyptus Caesia, native of Western Australia.
