Apple Blossom

Is there any spring flower any more magic than the blossoms in trees?

When you walk down the street and it happens to have many apple or cherry trees all in blossom.

The pinks and whites are incredible.

If you happen to live where there are orange trees, enjoy those orange blossoms they are fabulous.

There is nothing like the smell of lilacs in June to herald spring and summer. To me the smell is definitely magic.

Draw a Rose - Free Lesson

If we start with a rose, you will be tackling probably the most popular, and the most difficult flower imaginable.

However, to draw one is really not as difficult as people think.

This sounds contradictory, but...

just think about a rose in the way it grows, start from the middle and let that pencil just start going around in a tight layered circle in the middle.

Pencil Drawing of a Rose Step One

Spread out, Overlap, and gently enlarge the Petals

I then start to create individual petals just starting to spread out, in a circle around the middle.

They are just starting to open up, and to keep it real just jiggle the pencil, don't make it perfect.

Nature is not perfect.

That is probably the most important part of drawing anything in nature, it is never perfectly even or symmetrical.

It is wild, and rough.

Even a rose.

Pencil Drawing of a Rose Step Two

See as you keep adding a petal at a time, expanding the flower, with the petals getting larger, and looser.

Still Larger

Larger still, just keep them getting broader and keep that overlapping thing happening.

The Last Step

Building the bones of any flower, is the stem.

In many cases the stems are more like branches.
