Discover your World in Pen, Ink and Watercolor by Claudia Nice
The book gets the general interest of the reader in painting with its circles used to approximate and get the proportions of animals right. the book goes through many kinds of drawing. For example, painting the street lights and so on. It works at the general level than the details.

Few interesting things that I learnt from reading this book:

The beautiful marble work in Tajmahal, which looks like a painting to a layman is 'Pietre Dura'.

Islam forbade depiction of humans and animals in architecture design. This makes us see why there is not much of structures with human forms like in European architecture.

 This book reminds me of The Elves and the Shoemaker
I didnt know of any brownies other than the ones made to eat until I read this book. These brownies are adorable with their shiny huge buttons which seem magical. The indefinite forms in the illustrations are as mind bending as the acceptance of the brownies existence.
The pages are very engaging. the vines and the cobbled cottages will have you not just counting but story telling and describing.
