The illustrations Annie Sloan has featured here are taken from van Kouwenhoorn’s watercolour collection of botanical illustrations, which dates from the 1630s and celebrates popular flowers of the day. Here, stunning drawings of various blooms in colour order are emphasised against a dramatic backdrop of Graphite (available as Chalk Paint® and Annie Sloan Wall Paint).
