Free how to draw a tulip garden worksheet
Here is a fun and easy drawing lesson that will help the beginner in drawing
tulip flowers. It is not a hard project and is good practice. I tried
to make the lesson interesting and took a few risks with the composition.
The flowers are not in a neat tidy row, and they are intentionally a little
ragged as if they were past their bloom; after all, that is real life, and a
picture should tell a story.

LESSON NOTES
BEGINING
Start by gathering your reference materials, like favorite pictures of tulips
from cards, magazines, or calendars. Use the pictures for ideas and
design.
In my illustration, I have some tulips taller than others, some are in front, and some are behind. It all makes it look interesting. You may want to do some
rough sketches first to get your ideas right.
Lightly sketch your design. Keep it loose, rough, and quick. Just some
circles for the flowers and lines for the stems and leaves. Keep it light so
you can erase parts later.
DEVELOPING FROM
After you have the basic design the way you like it then go over the best
lines and erase the ones you do not want.
FLOWERS
The tulip flower looks like a bowl or cup. In our illustration, we are looking
down into the flower at an angle. Draw a curved guide-line across the circle
that you drew for the flower. The guideline is the edge fo the nearer leaves
of the flower's cup shape.
Divide the cup shape into petals by drawing two or three lines down from the
guideline and from the back edge of the circle.
The edges of the flower is a little jagged so draw sawtooth-like lines on the
edge of the guide-line and the top circle line.
Erase the extra lines.
SHADING
Shading may be the most important part of the picture. Shadow is determined by
the direction of the light source. If the light is coming from the left the
shadow will be on the right. I suggest that you do all the shadow at once at
the end. Work the shading over the whole picture not one area at a time,
because if you start at one spot and work out it may not look even. There are
shadows in shadows and some shadows near the edge are lighter and some shadows
farther from the light may be darker.
Use shade to separate flowers into those in front and those behind.
Be sure to sign and date your work about an inch or so from the bottom so
there is room for a frame.
I HOPE YOU DRAW A MASTERPIECE!
