Draw Flowers In The Distance

Sphere of Tulips


Continue drawing flowers "behind" the large ones. As you move up the page to draw behind them, make the flowers slightly smaller but still use detail for the bottom two thirds of the page. The leaves also can become more abstract as you move up the page.


Instructions


1. Decide what kind of flowers you are going to draw. In this example, tulips are drawn.


2. Establish where the foreground of your drawing is. Flowers can be drawn up close for this purpose, or an object, a house, building, person or animal may serve as something to position the flowers around. In this case tulips are drawn up close to signify where the drawing begins and to give perspective for the flowers to be drawn in the distance later.


3. Outline the basic shapes of the flowers you are drawing. In this case a simple U does fine. Outline them smaller and smaller so you know how the drawing will progress.


4.Perspective is a bottom line factor to cause when depicting something at a distance. When sketch a environment of flowers, For instance, there must be something of reference in the foreground so the watcher's eye can decipher that the smaller shapes are meant to be farther away. In these steps you will learn draw flowers in the distance using perspective.


5. Draw the last third of the page with smaller and smaller flowers. These flowers do not need to maintain detail, and the last row of them may only appear as a blur along the horizon.


6. Choose a variety of colors for your flowers. In this example raspberry, magenta, pink, bubble gum, white, yellow, yellow-green and jade green were used to color a field of spring pink tulips.


7. Color the larger flowers of the foreground in rich detail. To signify loss of detail as the flowers gain more distance on the page, revert to one final color by the time you get to the flowers farthest away. When looking at a field of flowers, remember that there is naturally more color crowded together the farther away you look. So use more color in the distance and more green leaves and stalks in the foreground.
