The Kew Book of Drawing Flowers

From the most basic to the more intricate blooms, each project increases in difficulty and teaches a new fundamental technique, making it perfect for beginners wanting to gain a complete understanding of how to draw flowers. Readers will be able to use what they've learned right away in their own art projects, be it home prints, journals and stationery

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!

Op zich toffe boek vol met technieken en mogelijkheden. Ook hulp met het tekenen van kransen, boeketten en samengestelde bloemen.
Veel info over het inkleuren met verschillende materialen maar het resultaat over het kleurgebruik liet te wensen over (daarom een sterretje minder).
Op zich maakt het de beloftes waar die op het boek staan.

Great book! I used this guide to paint with watercolours. Very fresh and clear drawings.
