I'm also a fan of the entire <i>20 Ways</i> series from Quarry. Several fabulous artists have contributed to this series, guiding aspiring artists on how to draw not only tulips (and countless other types of flowers), but trees, butterflies, and fruit, too. Like all books in the series, this one is full of pictorial prompts and blank space for you to try your hand at illustration. <i><b>- Jen Perkins, Blogher</b></i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Portland illustrator and fine artist <b>Lisa Congdon</b>, named one of 2015's 40 Women over 40, was raised in both upstate New York and Northern California where she grew to love the trees and animals that surrounded her.
