    Note from author:
    My goal for this book was to provide your kid with frustration-free instructions so they can draw quickly and confidently, without giving up! The steps in this book are broken down into basic, easy-to-learn “C” and “S” shapes that make it simple for them to follow along. A good tip for artists of all ages is to draw your lines lightly in pencil first—that way it’s easier to erase if you make a mistake or need to remove something. With just a few basic tips, your kid will be drawing with confidence and proud of their creations!
    "Every kid knows that they can be an artist when they grow up, and what better way to encourage them on their journey? Alli’s book Modern Flowers will not only delight your young artist with the amazing selection of botanicals to learn, but also teach them to actually see how to take a real life flower from the garden and make it into a beautiful drawing. Alli’s easy to follow step-by-step instructions are approachable and playful - making the entire process a joy!"

    "Alli Koch's How to Draw for Kids book series provides the perfect way for any child to jumpstart their interest in all things artistic.
