Drawing for Joy: 15-Minute Daily Meditations to Cultivate Drawing Skill and Unwind with Color--365 Prompts for Aspiring Artists

Jump into a series of 52 week-by-week, low-stress drawing exercises with Drawing for Joy! Learning to draw can seem intimidating, but it doesn't have to be!

In Drawing for Joy, author and illustrator Stephanie Peterson Jones gives you a low-stress way to build a daily drawing practice regimen. The series of 52 week-by-week exercises are approachable and fun to do. Each week is separated into 7 separate drawing prompts, giving you a quick, 15 minute drawing project to try out each day of the week. You'll get to explore line, texture, pattern, and color at your own pace.

The book begins with basic information on the required materials for completing the exercises and essential techniques and strategies for coloring your creations. The exercises start with a focus on simple shapes such as circles, squares, and other geometric textures, then progress gradually toward creating more realistic motifs, including florals and other natural shapes, all built with line and pattern.
