50 Ways to Draw Your Beautiful, Ordinary Life

Master everyday subjects through 50 whimsical lessons

Here are 50 easy, illustrated step-by-step lessons on how to draw a whimsically curated list of the things we see and interact with every day: a bouquet of flowers, a watering can, a cat, mittens, favorite plants and vegetables, a cup and saucer, a kitchen table, fruit wrappers, a seagull, a dress collar, an apple tree. The lessons take us line by line from early sketch to finished drawing, with space alongside for the reader to draw the same. And unlike other beginner s drawing guides, every lesson stems from each artist s particular sensibility. This book is not about learning shapes, but how to create beautiful images with quirkiness and personality. The focus is not on perspective or shading, but the mindful pleasures of doing creative work. Included are special paper goodies, from the instructional (sheets of tracing paper, watercolor paper, colored paper for a singular effect) to the purely joyful postcards, a 32-page booklet with bellyband, paper doll foldouts, and more. Authors: Irene Smit, Astrid van der Hulst 256pp., 8x10 paperback with pullout booklets,postcards, special paper and more ISBN: 9781523501151
