Drawing Flowers: A Helpful Hint for Beautiful Florals
Art Mediums, Art Subjects, Art Techniques and Skills, Drawing, Flowers
Drawing flowers in one of my all time favorite subjects. It doesn’t matter what type of flower it is, or whether I create them in color or black and white. Drawing flowers simply makes me happy! Because I’m also a photographer, the studio is filled with reference photos I’ve taken over the years. My favorite pastime, when not in the studio, is visiting botanical gardens so I can take more photos. An artist can never have enough. Many of my students share the same passion, so I allow them to use my photos. Every class I teach has at least one or two students creating beautiful floral masterpieces!
Look at all of the lights and darks created by the edges of this plant. The edges are the most important part of drawing flowers and plants.
So what makes a good floral drawing? Composition, and how the subject is placed on the page, and contrast are essential for creating depth and realism. But when it comes to flowers in particular, I personally believe that the single most important element is the ability of the artist to create realistic looking edges.
Flowers are made up of many, many edges, due to the overlapping surfaces created by the petals and the leaves. It’s important that the edges of all these surfaces look believable. When teaching, I find that students often struggle with this, for their edges often turn into outlines. The realism is lost due to this. It can be very frustrating
