Review: A wonderful book full of inspiring pictures and instruction - I absolutely love this book! I have just started drawing and have bought a few other botanical instruction books, but this was by far the best. It is full of detailed instructions that are incredibly clear and take you right from the basics of drawing to more complex skills. I love the way it is designed - with the initial chapters giving core skills, and then the later chapters being ones that can be dipped in and out of. The drawings themselves are wonderful, and are so inspiring! The book is so well put together and is itself a lovely work of art! Review: Great for beginners, or those who wish to improve their art. - A very detailed and useful book. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 35,369 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 60 in Watercolour Painting Techniques 69 in Plant & Animal Art History & Criticism 267 in Garden Styles | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,227 Reviews | ## Images ![The Joy of Botanical Drawing: A Step-by-Step Guide to Drawing and Painting Flowers, Leaves, Fruit, and More - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81h0QXV1UoL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A wonderful book full of inspiring pictures and instruction *by M***N on 6 October 2020* I absolutely love this book!
