About the Book

Artists of all skill levels will find much to inspire them in this detailed and practical guide. Margaret Eggleton takes us through easy to follow drawing stages, and includes advice on looking at the flower– not the paper– while drawing, as well as shading, petal shapes, leaves, stems and more. She shows step by step how to draw a fantastic selection of popular flowers including hollyhocks, lilies, sunflowers, tulips, gladioli and clematis, in a wide variety of media. She also demonstrates drawing flowers in the landscape and in containers. Suitable for beginners wanting to build up their confidence and more seasoned artists seeking inspiration, this book is a must-have for anyone who wants to draw flowers.

Table of Contents:
• 12 step by step projects • Beautiful, inspiring drawings • Packed with expert advice

Review :
Flowers are all about colour and it therefore comes as a surprise to discover how much you can learn from a book that is entirely monochrome. Suddenly it's all about shapes and tines and you have to start thinking about structure a lot more. This leads to considerable insight into the way flowers actually work and fit together. You may feel that you are starting from scratch and that this is no bad thing. Margaret Eggleton's illustrations are delightfully subtle and sensitive and she has a style that many artists will want to emulate. The book has a nice progress, moving from leaves, stems and petals through individual flower studies to flower groups and flowers in the landscape.-The Artist It comes as a shock to turn the pages of this interesting guide and find a complete lack of colour. Of course there should be a clue in the title, but we're so accustomed to colour, both in drawing and in the subject, that it just seems to be a given here. The feeling is also emphasised by the fact that the greys (because this is about line and tone) are quite dark and the images therefore quite strong. Get past that, though, and what you have is a very nicely done and, in terms of both styles and subject matter, very varied little book. Its stumbling point though, I can't help thinking, is going to be whether anyone is going to think, "Ah just what I wanted" or, because of its rather hard-edged appearance, "But I do quite fancy trying it". There's a lot you can learn from starting with a drawing, rather than reaching immediately for the paint box; you can learn it here, and I recommend you do. I just don't think the look and feel of the book are going to help me make my point, though.-Artbookreview.net
