Plant Artwork

Nature is full of interesting, beautiful and easy things you can draw, so now's the time to bring out the artist in you! Go into your garden or local park and keep your eyes peeled for an attractive plant or flower. It doesn't matter what it is, as long as it catches your attention.

When you find your plant or flower, don't draw it straight away

Maybe sit down and look at it closely

• Where is it growing?
• Is it in a sunny spot or in the shade?
• Is it alone or with other plants?
• Is it tall or short?

Now it's time to start drawing

Don't worry about making it perfect, just focus on a few things.

Look at the leaves

• What shape are they?
• What colour are they?
• Are the edges smooth or rough?
• How about the stem?
• Is it thick or thin?
• Hairy or smooth?

Don't forget any flowers it has

• How many petals do they have?
• What colour are they?
• What shape are they?
