Draw in 10 Minutes: Botanicals

Sketch 50 beautiful botanical projects, step by step, in just 10 minutes each!

Create your own blowsy roses, delicate orchids, geometric succulents and glistening strawberries using these stunningly simple, easy-to-follow techniques.

Guaranteed to boost your drawing confidence and skill, popular botanical artist Emma Tildesley uses simple shapes, built up step by step, so that you can quickly and easily sketch a gorgeous botanical collection including:

• A fabulous variety of flowers in all shapes and sizes, including the stately bird of paradise, delicate hanging fuchsia and cheerful daffodils
• Glossy and gleaming fruits and vegetables, including chilis, tomatoes and a juicy slice of watermelon
• A stunning selection of cones, leaves and berries, including holly, poinsettia, mistletoe and rose hips
• Bold and beautiful cacti and succulents, including aloe vera, echeveria and a prickly pear cactus

Every project contains between 6 and 10 illustrated steps, simple instructions and an inspirational ‘color me’ tip box containing color mixes and advice, in case you’d like to transform your finished drawing with color – in Emma’s case, watercolor paints, but you could use whichever medium you like.

This book is perfect for beginner artists who’ve never drawn before, who want an easy guide to drawing and replicating their favorite flowers and more; it’s also a perfect prompt for more experienced illustrators searching for sketching ideas and keen to observe and recreate accurate botanical structure.
