Review
What we love about this delightful book is the very practical way that Bianca has structured the book. It is absolutely packed with really helpful step-by-step advice about how to create the most beautiful flowers.

But it’s more than that, Bianca also illustrates the ways that flowers can be used with calligraphy, in patterns and in stationery and wall art.

The content includes:

Introduction

Chapter One: Anatomy of a Flower

Chapter Two: How to Draw Flowers

Chapter Three: Ideas for Applications

Within each chapter there is so much really helpful detail, enabling anyone to take those important first steps towards creating your own beautiful art. 

Bianca’s approach is incredibly supportive and encouraging, as she also explains how she returned to her childhood love of art after many years of working in another industry.

If you have ever wanted to try drawing and painting flowers this exquisite book is a wonderful place to start! Highly Recommended!
