20 Ways to Draw a Tree and 44 Other Nifty Things from Nature by Eloise Renouf

She is also a prolific collector of old and unusual things and surrounds herself with these things in her home & studio. Lisa is predominantly self taught and did not begin painting until she was 31 years old. That love is now expressed through her paintings and drawings. Portland illustrator and fine artist Lisa Congdon, 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. These four artists each have a uniquely creative style, resulting in an engaging and motivational practice book that provides a new take on the world of sketching, doodling, and designing.

Each of the 20 interpretations provides a different, interesting approach to drawing a single item, providing loads of inspiration for your own drawing. This is not a step-by-step technique book - within the pages you'll find drawings simplified, modernized, and reduced to the most basic elements, showing you how simple abstract shapes and forms create the building blocks of any item that you want to draw. Don't worry, there's tons of room for you to draw your own versions of these amazing doodles right on the pages.
