Drawing: Flowers with William F. Powell: Learn to draw step by step by William F. Powell is a book I requested from NetGalley and the review is voluntary. I love his art books because there is something about them that clicks with me. His teaching methods I understand easily. I first started my journey with art with one of his book. I wanted to learn to draw but I couldn't draw anything but a stick man but I got his book and I was able to draw a car, teddy bear, mountain man and more and it looked realistic and I learned all from his book! This book is like that too! It takes complicated items but he simplifies it down to something I can understand and draw! These are step-by-step lessons with lots of illustrations and instructions.
Some books I just don't get but him I understand! This is a beginner's book and I plan on getting it to add to my collection. Thanks so much Mr Powell, I would have given up on art of it wasn't for you! ( )

Drawing Flowers by William F. Powell
Learn to Step by Step

Tools and materials, shading techniques and basic flower shapes begin this marvelous book on how to draw flowers. I Found it fascinating that from basic outlines of flowers that were rather abstract the artist moved on to intricately developed flowers. Twenty-four flowers were presented from abstract shape to finished product and I can see myself using this book to create the basis for future watercolor paintings.

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Walter Foster for the ARC – This is my honest review.
