I've referred to this book a lot over the years--I've needed to....

I often find flowers harder to draw and paint than figures. With flowers, you have to make them look both delicate and substantial; how to do that...I still struggle if I try. So I mostly draw and paint them simply and a bit abstractly.

There are quite a number of examples of floral perspective in this book, which examples have been helpful to me.

This book lacked the detail it was supposed to have. It stated that it would outline everything step-by-step, but it was not descriptive enough. From one step to another, there were too many differences. In addition, the instructional photos and base photos were so small that I had to draw based off of the finished product which was sometimes stretched across the two pages of the book (with the seam of the pages going across the middle.

Overall, I didn't think the book was very helpful. There were too many things that annoyed me about it and I only liked one of the projects that the author laid out. I will be returning this.
