In its innovative magazines and books, Flow celebrates creativity, mindfulness, and the joys of paper through a uniquely engaging blend of ideas and visual elements – beautiful illustrations and paintings created by a group of talented professional artists. Now these artists have opened their toolboxes and are sharing secrets, techniques, and perspectives to show the creatively curious how to draw. Here are 50 simple, illustrated step-by-step lessons on how to draw an imaginatively curated list of everyday objects we see and interact with: a bouquet, a watering can, a cat, gloves, favorite plants and vegetables, a cup and saucer, a kitchen table, fruit packaging, a seagull, a dress collar, and an apple tree. The lessons guide us line by line from the first sketch to the finished drawing, with space alongside for the reader to draw the same. Unlike other beginner drawing guides, each lesson comes from the unique sensitivity of each artist. This book is not about learning shapes, but about how to create beautiful images with character and personality. The focus is not on perspective or shading, but on the mindful joys of creative work. Included are special paper surprises, ranging from the educational (sheets of drawing paper, watercolor paper, colored paper for a unique effect) to purely joyful – postcards, a 32-page booklet with a belly band, paper theater figures, and more.
