Flower Drawings

Let's appreciate nature by looking at and doing some flower drawings.

I really enjoy doing flower sketches. When you start to fill in the detail, you realize just how intricate the petals are.

You can get an image to resemble the type of flower you have drawn, even when you leave out the details.

If you're interested, here's a flower template.

There are links to more drawings of flowers towards the bottom of this page.

These beautiful fuchsias were drawn by my Mum.

We picked these fuchsias from my garden and we drew them together.

I prefer to show you Mum's because she has a light, gentle touch when she draws.

One day I hope to do drawings like this!

Most of us love flowers for their shape, color, fragrance and beauty.

We use flowers to express our feelings, and we place flowers on the graves of our loved ones.

At weddings they symbolize love, faithfulness and long life.

We also use flowers for decorating.

Some Trivia About Flowers

A flower is a blossom or a plant that is known to blossom.

Flowering plants have soft stems rather than woody stems. Trees can flower but they are not referred to as flowers.

Blossoms provide the seeds for us to cultivate more flowers.

The flower consists of four parts. The calyx, the corolla, the stamens and the pistils.

The calyx (sepals) protect the developing inner parts of the flower. Most of the time, the sepals stay attached to the flower after it opens.

The corolla consists of a flower's petals. They have various colors and a perfume.

The stamens are the male pollen-producing parts of a flower. They can be the most attractive part of certain flowers.

The pistils are the female seed-bearing parts. Each pistil has three parts, a stigma, a style and an ovary.

The stigma is the sticky area at the top. The style is a long slender tube that leads to the ovary which is a hollow structure at the base.
