Customer Reviews

Disappointed
I was a little disappointed in this book, because it says Flowers and Nature, and shows a beautiful flower on the front cover, but she doesn't show you how to do anything that nice. Also all of her examples look unfinished and unrealistic. Her trees are the worst, but she does great bark, but she doesn't show you, she just tells you how to do it.
I have a lot of respect for Lee Hammond, as I think she is very talented. I have her drawing horses book and I think it's wonderful.
The only thing I like about this book is the tips in the front of the book.
Also, I don't consider an artichoke and peppers to be nature. Also she just shows you the butterfly that's on the front cover, the same as she does the beautiful flower, she doesn't show you how to accomplish them. She does do one pretty rose with Col-erase pencils.

Flowers & Nature by Lee Hammond
I love Lee Hammond's drawing books and this one is no exception. Though small in stature, it's big in areas of helpful information and beautiful photos! Also, the Drawing in Color series have step by step demos which are exceptionly helpful in deciding what materials to use for your drawing! I own all of Lee's books and can't wait for more!

Vivid results from colored pencils
Lee Hammond presents great tools and ideas for those that tend to have a tightness in nature to their drawing. Her realist ways with a pencil are always remarkable to me. I would recommend this book to anyone that wants to learn about applying color to achieve realistic results.
