More DescriptionThis book has been written to help artists and students understand the structure and formation of over 100 flowers and many diagrams in order to be able to accurately represent them in all artistic formats, from botanical and naturalistic to abstraction. The simplistic pen and pencil drawings are intentionally unsophisticated and realistic and not meant to be artistic or distorted. There are simple directions to the approach to drawing the blossoms and many clues to shortcuts for the more complicated clusters of blooms.Most descriptions include interesting facts and folklore or the many myths, legends and some interesting trivia which often surround the plants for your enjoyment. Painting is such a pleasure and if one part of the process can be simplified it becomes even more so. I hope you enjoy this little volume as much as I have done in drawing the flowers, researching each of them and devising easier ways to reproduce them.
