This is a great introduction to drawing florals. It broke down the steps to creating various flowers, foliage, and combining them into bouquets.

Great book! Checked it out from the library, and half way through the book, I bought it! Great photos, simple instructions, and with enough practice I was able to draw something that was somewhat close to the actual drawing! That is saying a lot, as I am not a drawer at all. Love the variety of flowers that she included in the book, and also the names of them.

Love, love, love this book


This book flattered me to believe myself an artist. The beautiful intricate designs of a flower were simplified for amateur and non committal sketch artist like myself. The illustrations were vivid and the steps were easy to follow. I borrowed this book from my local library but I'm so impressed with it I think I need a personal copy. I consider myself a flower enthusiast, seeking to identify the different types of flowers, and endeavouring to draw them. This book Love, love, love this book

Highly recommended to flower people who are also non committal ...more

Me gustó mucho cómo está estructurado, con explicaciones claras y sencillas de los trazos que conforman diferentes tipos de flores y plantas. También incluye información sobre las flores incluídas y detalles que las caracterizan.

Los ejercicios de práctica son progresivos, con campo para improvisar y desarrollar un estilo personal. Me encanta que conforme aumenta la "dificultad" se incorporan recomendaciones que toman en cuenta la luz y el ángulo, para lograr resultados más complejos y arreglos Me gustó mucho cómo está estructurado, con explicaciones claras y sencillas de los trazos que conforman diferentes tipos de flores y plantas.

Además el libro físico es muy bonito y el papel es genial para practicar, aunque es recomendable hacer los primeros intentos en otro papel y solo usar el espacio del libro cuando ya hay un avance, ya que las páginas de práctica son pocas. ...more

This is slightly less frustrating than those how to draw books from when I was a kid where it was like:

Step 1: draw a circle.
Step 2: draw 2 triangles.
Step 3: draw 2 small circles inside the bigger circle
Step 4: (some photo of a super detailed leopard that is in no way a logical progression from step 3)

Everything is in 4 steps and there are a few times where it's like "okay, that's a bit of a jump", but it's not totally impossible. Mine were far from good, but they at least somewhat resembled This is slightly less frustrating than those how to draw books from when I was a kid where it was like:

I also wish that the leaves and wildflowers had some actual instructions instead of a page saying "here are some doodles of these. Your turn."

Love this book! I am shocked that I was able to draw such flowers after following Alli Koch’s step by step directions! I would highly recommend purchasing a set of Micro pens in various sizes. There are directions for 19 different flowers, a variety of succulents, and greenery.

Alli is an amazing artist!
This is a wonderful book for all levels. Alli breaks down each flower to simple shapes and steps and makes it easy for anyone to learn. Also the book itself is aesthetically beautiful! I have my copy on my desk or side table all the time. Can't wait for the next one.
