Art Tip
Flower Drawing - Learn How to Draw Flowers
Flowers drawings can look very effective when simply and cleanly drawn. For this example I chose a tea rose with a partly open bloom that seemed to lend itself to line drawing. The dip pen, which allows variation in line which adds interest and elegance to the drawing: drafting pens can look rather mechanical. A slightly textured or toned paper can also look good. If you aren't confident with pen, try drawing a very light sketch in pencil first, then doing the ink line. You may choose to use a very even, regular line weight for a crisp, illustrative look. Alternatively vary the weight, lifting the pen for a lighter line where the petal curves away from you.
Line & Texture When sketching flowers in pen and ink, try varying your line weight - using hard, medium and light pressure. Use dark, stronger lines and hatched shading in the darker areas, and very light, loose lines on the brighter areas of the flower. Note that you don't have to outline every petal - you can just suggest the tips with a curve, or use short strokes to suggest the direction of the petals. A useful sketching technique is to hatch the shadows under petals, rather than outlining every petal precisely. Short, stippled marks suggest the stamens at the center of the bloom. Notice that some petals will be foreshortened - some looking longer and
some shorter - when the flower is at an angle to the viewer. So be sure to observe your subject carefully
.Here is another example of using texture and line weight to create life and interest in a flower drawing. If you're used to more tightly realist drawing, try exagger-ating the line weight, using both light and heavy pressure, and loose, even scribbly marks to suggest overlapping petals and foliage.
Try drawing several roses, including buds and leaves, to create a simple, relaxed composition. Don't be obsessive about drawing every petal, but try to suggest the overall shape and flow. Pen-and-ink is an ideal medium for this - try using a felt tip or bic if you don't have a dip pen. Using ink prevents you from messing around trying to 'fix' mistakes - they have to be part of the design. Try keeping your lines as fresh and clean as possible.
Expressive Sketching
Try sketching a loose arrangement of blooms - just laid in a heap - rather than a stiff formal arrangement. Don't obsess over the outline of each petal, but rather try to suggest the overall shapes and textures. Use hatching and scumbling to add detail and texture in the shadows. Using a variety of flowers, some with more defined shapes such as tulips or lilies, and some with looser forms, such as David Austin ros-es, helps to add structure and interest.
Pastels
While you can do very detailed work with pastel, it is particularly effective when used for bold, simple compositions like this one. The petals on the (artificial) subjects were very solid in color, so variations were added to create texture and interest.
I've sketched the outline of blue flower in black, and the pink one using pale pink pastel. From there, the petals are built up in bold areas of the main colors, with lighter and darker hues added to create texture and form.
Background shading in contrasting colors adds energy, especially in the foreground, which pushes the closer bloom towards the viewer. Black pastel can create a visual black
hole - the centers here are too dense, so I lift off some color with a kneadable eraser and add touches of purple and dark green. They'll look more balanced when the background and petals are complete.
The colored paper acts as a unifying factor in the drawing, showing through here and there to pull it all together. For best results, choose a contrasting color. The gray here is a little close to the blue, but use of bright and dark hues pre-vents it from looking flat.
Tip: Don't use pencil to sketch your drawing, as it presses into the paper, and the greasy graphite will reject the pas-tel. Use pastels in similar values to the areas you will be drawing. You can sharpen your pastel with a knife or use pas-tel pencil.
