Magnificent, hand-painted illustrations by a rising star of Czech watercolor illustration—perfect for beginning painters!

Nature is teeming with incredible colors. But have you ever wondered how the colors green, yellow, pink, or blue might taste or smell? What could they sound like? Or what would they feel like if you touched them?

Nature’s colors are so wonderful and diverse they inspired people to use the names of plants, animals, and minerals when labelling all the nuances. Join us on a journey to discover the twelve most well-known colors and their shades. You will learn that the colors and elements you find in nature are often closely connected.

Inside you’ll find:

Book filled with magnificent, hand-painted illustrations (in the style of Katie Daisy) by rising stars of Czech watercolor illustration
A great encyclopedia of animals, plants and minerals
Unique interactive concepts: the reader can relate individual shades to plants, animals, rock, and various landscapes of the same color in accordance with their names (e.g. raspberry red, turquoise)
A short lesson on how to mix and combine colors

Will you be able to find all the links in each chapter? And if you are an aspiring artist, take our course at the end of the book and you’ll be able to paint as exquisitely as nature itself does!

"Yellow takes yet more forms in Colors in Nature, a picture book written by Czech writers Štěpánka Sekaninová and Jana Sedláčková, who go into greater detail. Here in little paintings by Magdalena Konečná we see the finely graded yellows of things both well-known and less-celebrated: the blooms of forsythia and cowslip; the gleams of sulfur, gold and citrine; the yellows of ginger and bumblebees and dripping amber honey." —The Wall Street Journal
"This is such a beautiful book! I was blown away by the vibrant illustrations and the approach to connecting colors to nature. It is a beautiful approach to teaching children colors and connecting them to animals, plants, rocks, etc. Making connections is important, and a creative approach is great for children! I want to recommend this for my library!" —Jordan Gray, Librarian
"A book perfect for budding artists, Colors in Nature is a beautifully illustrated book of animals and plants with the featured colors that could spark new artistic ideas and color experimentation." —YA Books Central
