Inspired Artist: Draw Every Little Thing Learn to draw more than 100 everyday items, from food to fashion by Flora Waycott Easy to follow book that allows the reader to look, learn and execute drawing of a variety of items found in every day life. The illustrations are simple, colorful and fun making me want to pick upu a pencil immediately. This is a book I can see using ideas fIterom but also giving as a gift to my granddaughters who have said they plan to be artists when they grow up. What I liked: * The color theory information was easy to understand * Examples were easy to follow * Materials required are often readily available in the home already * I could see myself or my granddaughters having fun using the ideas in this book * Learning about the author Would I buy this book? Yes Would I give it as a gift? Yes Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Walter Foster Publishing ~ This is my honest review. 5 Stars
