"Draw 30 vibrant flowers in 8 easy stages -- or fewer! Create a garden overflowing with fabulous flora, from blowsy roses to delicate bluebells; from exotic hibiscus to fragile, floating water lilies. Perfect for budding artists of all ages, each beautiful bloom is developed in no more than 8 easy steps, from a rough sketch of the basic shapes through to the finished, coloured image. Which will you pick to draw first?"--
