The Joy of Botanical Drawing is the perfect blend of how to draw and relaxing meditative practice. My only experience with drawing is from an introductory art class in high school, so my knowledge is close to zero. But with this book I have a better idea of how to approach everything, and the recommendations for different supplies was wonderful. The illustrations are absolutely beautiful, and I look forward to practicing (I know with practice I'll get better). Perfect if you want to learn to draw or want to find a creative meditative outlet.
