Millions of people have learned to draw by using Lee. J. Ames' step-by-step approach. Draw 50 Flowers, Trees, and Other Plants is an ideal learning tool for children, adults, parents, and teachers who want to lean more about the wondrous variety of plants--flowers, trees, cacti, fruits, vegetables, and fungi. Included here are beauties like the stunning orchid and the regal rose, but also little-known flowers like the kapok and the jack-in-a-pulpit. Among the trees are a towering sequoia, a weeping willow, and the mysterious baobob, which can be found only in Africa. Many of the drawings, such as the daisy, grapes, and oranges, are perfect for beginning artists, but there are also plenty of challenging plants to draw: a mushroom, an artichoke, a poinsettia, and a spectacular oak. Included with each plant is its genus and family name--like the Physalis and Solanaceae, which are the names for the Chinese lantern plant. Practicing the lines and forms of these drawings not only helps develop basic drawing skills, but also shows young artists how to capture the uniqueness of each plant. Instructions are included, with hints about the materials you might want to use and how to achieve the best results.
