Draw 50 Flowers, Trees, and Other Plants

The Step-by-Step Way to Draw Orchids, Weeping Willows, Prickly Pears, Pineapplesand Many More...

Part of Draw 50

Draw 50 Flowers, Trees, and Other Plants shows artists of all levels how to draw with ease by following simple, step-by-step examples. Celebrated author Lee J. Ames shows you how to create a lush garden of roses, orchids, cacti, and a variety of fruit, as well as forests of towering firs, sequoias, and weeping willows.

Ames’s drawing method has proven successful for children and adults of all ages over the past forty years. The twenty-nine books in the Draw 50 series have sold more than 5 million copies and have shown artists from beginning to advanced levels how to draw everything from animals to airplanes. It’s easy to grow your own garden when it’s done the Draw 50 way.
In recent books, I have worked with artists whom I consider to be superbly talented. All are top achievers and craftspeople, highly acclaimed by their colleagues and fans... and some have names and work you may recognize. This way we are making available to you other styles of drawing, techniques that are different from my own. With that in mind, I consider myself very lucky to have been able to persuade Persis Lee Ames to join with me in creating this book.
