Easy How to Draw Simple Flowers Tutorial and Simple Flowers Coloring Page
Learn how to draw simple flowers in all different shapes and sizes. Leaving some white space around them will make the colors extra bright.
If your students seem to always draw the same type of flower, a new “how to draw simple flowers” tutorial might give them some extra inspiration. For instance, daisies are very pretty, and easy to draw, but there are so many other possibilities. Flowers can have tulip shapes, circle shapes, extra sizes, extra layers of petals and fuzzy lines. The goal is to have a variety so students can have practice drawing all kinds of different lines, and filling them with lots of colors.
Once the flowers are traced with a permanent marker, this little white edge trick will not only make them look brighter, it will keep colors from running together. All you have to do, once the flowers have been filled in, is to remind students to not paint the blue to the edges of anything. If they leave a little “glow” around everything, their colors will all stay true and puddles should stay at a minimum.
