[Judith · Rating 5 out of 5]

I worked with this book in print and practiced drawing and painted with lumograph pencils, watercolor pencils, and oil pastels (think fancy crayons), flower by flower, page by page, in a watercolor sketch book. Anatomy of flowers broken down into symmetry, shapes, and shading. This book really helped me gain confidence in drawing flowers. Highly recommend!
