Failsafe lessons for drawing floral and botanical elements. For journaling, for stationery, for keeps by Bianca Giarola

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.
