Flowers are perhaps one of the best decorations of any landscape and home. We love them, grow them ourselves, take care of them daily. Often we even buy paintings with the image of flowers. But what if you wanted to draw a bouquet yourself? Take, for example, one of the cutest flowers - pansies.
Essential Accessories
To work, we need:
- a simple pencil;
- a piece of thick white paper;
- ordinary eraser;
- colored pencils or paints (optional).
Let's take a look at how to draw pansies in stages.
Stage one
Before you begin, you should decide what you want to see in your drawing. It can be a clearing strewn with pansies, or just a large image of a favorite flower. If you decide to depict a full-fledged flowerbed of ornamental plants, then you should immediately draw several basics for the colors of pansies. If you presented one large beautiful flower, then one circle will be enough.
We will analyze the option with several colors. First, draw a few circles in the middle of the sheet. They we denote the arrangement of colors in the composition of the work. These same circles will serve as the basis for the heads of pansies. Next, we draw the petals of each flower. As a rule, there are five petals in the buds of this plant. They are thin at the base and expand toward the boundaries of the circles. Now draw the flower buds in detail and erase the excess lines with an eraser.
It is worth noting that pansies can be of completely different colors, but be sure two petals grow the same color, and the other three can be variegated.
In the composition of the picture, you can add one unblown flower. This will add naturalness to your picture, since not all flowers bloom at the same time.
Now from the base of the buds we draw the stems of the plant and add ribbed elongated leaves.
Second phase
How to draw pansies with colored pencils? If you wish, you can add bright colors to your work. Any plants will become much more beautiful if you give them a natural color. Pansies are quite motley flowers.
The usual colors may contain purple, pink and yellow. It is better to paint the upper two petals in a dark shade, and the lower three should be decorated with a specific wavy pattern of light tones.
Next, paint the flower stems in dark green. The edging of the leaves of the plant can also be highlighted in dark color, and shade the middle with pale green and draw veins.
Your drawing is almost complete. It remains only to determine the background of the picture. They can be served by the dense green of a forest glade or the blue sky, which will pleasantly tint the natural color of pansies.
