- I am always asked about how to draw various flower perspectives. This was a lifesaver for me, and I never had challenges after learning this method. Especially the guidelines for petals.
This is an easy way to draw them. I shared three views.
HERE IS THE NEXT LESSON: Lesson #8 - • Beginners Lesson # 8: ...
Happy painting, dear artist!

I always had problems drawing flowers from different angles. Finally a video that didn't intimidate me! Thanks!
Wonderful, My goodness, that is exactly my goal with my videos to take any intimidation out, simplify things, and just discover, play and have fun! Happy drawing friend!
Now I have drawn six of the 3rd model and it was amazing, thanks!@@DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy
Happy to hear it is going well, when your mind grasps the concept it makes so much sense doesnt it! Im glad it was helpful!
Thank you very much for this video. I am an early beginner and this is one of the most helpful videos I have found. It is helpful you say which colors you are using and the value as well as the technique. I learned a lot.
Wonderful James, Im glad it was helpful, I hope you will find lots more helpful resources in my videos. Happy painting and most of all have fun.
You make this look easy. I have a peony photo from a friends garden and have struggled drawing it. Now I have the tools to do it. Thank you so much.
Wonderful, I have a drawing I would share with you as well if you like Lynn, Just email me Debbiewalkerart@gmail.com Have Fun! These guidelines save me every time in getting those petals right!
Fantastic guide to drawing from different perspectives .
I’m happy it helps Once your mind gets use to thinking this way it becomes second nature… have fun with this exercise!🌸🌸🌸
Grazie mille ❤per le tue lezioni, mi aiutano molto 🎉
Sono così felice che siano utili. Spero che tu sia stato ispirato a provarli. Spero presto che qualcuno traduca i miei video in alcune lingue per tutti voi. Italiano incluso :-) Buona pittura!
@@DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy grazie mille, io sono molto appassionata ma faccio molta fatica, spero di migliorare 💞🌻🌷🌺
Meraviglioso, sono così felice di sentirlo, spero di ispirarti a mantenerlo. Sfoglia la mia playlist BEginners, esercitati molto con le pennellate, divertiti con i colori che ti piacciono, vai piano, sviluppa la memoria muscolare e prima che tu te ne accorga, quelle piccole pennellate stanno creando fiori e foglie meravigliosi!
Another great lesson - so helpful for beginners. Thanks, Liz
I’m So glad wonderful!
This is the first demo on flower perspectives I can understand. Thanks.
@@sprousepaula terrific! I’m so no glad 🎨
I have the same rotating brush holder you have(without the mirrors). I put rice in the bottom of the compartments so my brushes stand up straight instead of flopping around. Made a big difference. 😊
WOW Jill! That's a great hack, it is annoying how they flop all about. I'm definitely going to do that today.
What a great idea!
Hi Jill, I filled my brush holder with sand and it works fabulously. Great tip!
@@DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy Sand works too. Not too much of that in New York City. I’m thrilled it’s working for you. I could not stand those brushes flopping around. 👍
@@jillbalsam2507 yes, it was quite annoying. Sand is perfect !
Such a help. I am lookng forward to trying. You are the best. What is the point of someone just doing it and not explaining what they are doing which is what some do. Well done
I'm glad Maureen, it is how I learned best as well, I always loved learning, watching a technique but I needed more info, and once I learned it, now how do I use it? This was a fun tutorial to make, I'm glad you enjoyed it as well, Have fun!
Your lessons are sooooo easy to follow for beginners who might get disheartened otherwise
Im so glad you are finding them doable and inspiring. That is my goal that those who might be intimadted by watercolors and give up will find easy tips to make watercolors more friendly! It is such a beautiful medium when you get the hang of a few technes. Happy painting, Im so glad you are here~
Very helpful love colleenx
Glad it was helpful! This technique was so helpful to me years ago and simplified drawing flowers~ Have fun and happy painting
this is probably the best tutorial i have seen yet for drawing flowers !
Wonderful I hope you give them a try. They are so fn using this process. Happy painting friend and most of all have fun~
Thanks
Thank you so much Very appreciated and I’m happy this was helpful 🌸🌸🌸

This is so helpful! I’m practicing right now. Thanks Debbie!❤
You got this! YOu are going to love this practice :-) Always good to see you Marian~ I hope you are diong well and painting lots xo
What a wonderful way that you’ve shown us how to draw these flowers. I have no idea on drawing but this is so very helpful. Thank you ever so much.
You are so welcome years ago I learned this and then came across it again recently and thought oh my gosh I’ve got to share this. This was something that made my drawing florals makes so much more sense.! happy drawing my dear Artist
Hi. Debbie, you are an excellent teacher! You can draw so perfectly and I really enjoyed this tutorial! The way you curled up the petals is beautiful and so interesting. Thank you for sharing your talent! ❤ Helene
You are so welcome, This technique helped me over the years and made my brain able to understand the shapes much easier. Im glad it helped you too I.m not naturally a good drawer I now use lots of guidelines and familiar shapes and it makes it a lot easier! Happy pdrawing friend!
OK…your brush collection looks like my coloured pencil collection! 😂Thanks for this. I love drawing flowers and you make it easier.
Oh fun! I’d love to hear about your colored pencil collection!
Watercolor pencils? What brand? Fun! Inlive drawing, sketching it is so relaxing I doodle on everything. I’m so glad this simplifies drawing flower perspectives . I will do more too. . This taught my brain to see the flower differently . Have fun my artist friend🌸🎨
Thank you! This will be so helpful and I can’t wait to try it!!
You are so welcome! Im so happy it helped. You will get used to it, and it will make more and more sense. That muscle memory kicks in and starts getting it! Have fun
This was so so helpful!! I’m eager to try it out. Thank you
You are so welcome! So fun right? Once you continue to practice it will make more and more sense. Sometimes our mind fights such things. Mine anyway.. I learned this technique years ago and has been a life changer for me. Happy drawing and painting!
Thx Deb❤
xo
Wow! I just came across this drawing video of flowers and needed to rewind to the beginning and start drawing myself. The paint value is great to distinguish the petals that are curling. Thank you so very much for this video! 💕
Im so glad you rewinded and I was able to share you something that interested you and inspired you. I love these drawings it makes so much sense to me. Values are such a powerful technique in creating depth, interest. Im so glad to have you here painting with me. Happy drawing and painting frend!

Good morning. What will I ever do with out you! Drawing has always been touture for me. Your the only one that makes it look like fun. I must try this. Hugs.
You can do it! Sometimes we have to simplify shapes, colors, and our thinking process🌸 that’s what helps me Anyway! This exercise took all of the stress out of drawing flowers for me way back when.. happy drawing Ann🌼🎨
Thank you Debbie, this was
soo helpful. I do have problems
with drawing flowers.
God Bless
I'm gald it helped. This was a technique I picked up somewhere over the years in my oodles of workshops, and classes. It always made the most sense for me. Have fun!
Very pretty. Gotta try it 😊
I think you will have fun Mary! 🌸🎨 let me know how it works for you :)
You are such a great tutor and I am just beginning this artfelt journey. Do you offer zoom classes and if so, how much, I am 84 years young and would like to paint a flower that looks like a flower before I turn 85.
Well how wonderful I think it’s so much fun to have these goals isn’t it and welcome to watercolors. Of course I am a little biased but I think they’re just the most magical beautiful medium there is to paint in. Yes, I offer different zoom classes I occasionally have a zoom class that semi private with up to five or eight students and then I also have private zoom classes, those are a little bit more they’re $65 debbiewalkerart.etsy.com/listing/1528554895/watercolor-privates-worksheets-african and you can email me as well.
DebbieWalkerart@gmail.com.
I’d love to help you and get you to that goal as you may know my passion is working with beginners
When you email me, let’s see what might work best for you and we’ll work around that 🖌️🎨❤️..
Beautiful ❤
Thank you! I hope you give them a try it’s a fun exercise to play with 🌸🎨
That was a great tutorial Debbie.💕I’m now motivated to paint this today and I’m definitely going to buy that brush and also the palette. I have the Windsor & Newton pans but I’m trying to use them up so I can start replacing them with the tubes. Unfortunately, I think it’ll take me years!🥺
Lol, it may. Tubes can last quite a while. I’m
So happy thisnknsoires you to draw and paint these. Aren’t the lights and darks beautiful together? And so easy to draw and paint. That push pull technique a bit too. You will LOVE this palette. Happy painting & drawing!
Gorgeous drawing and painting.
Thank you!
I love ❤️ them awesome! JK FLORIDA USA 🇺🇸
Hi! Im so glad you like these, they are addictive to draw., I hope you give them a try :-) I also hope to see you in a class one day! (Florida must be beautiful right now)
Great lesson 👍🏻👍🏻
Glad you liked it! So fun right! My mind loves when I can break down subjects and flowers into recognizable shapes.
I learned this years ago and thought it was brilliant!
As a, beginner, thank you again Debbie ❤
You are so welcome~ So fun right? It was like an aha for me years ago~ Happy painting and drawing!
Meeden has nice, affordable watercolor palettes. If anyone is interested.
Yes thank you aamanda I recently received several of their products because I’m always trying to share options. And I like trying everything out as well. And this palette is really great. Huge mixing area and deep wells. I really am
Impressed for the money.
Bedankt
Heel erg bedankt, dat is een grote hulp voor mij om meer benodigdheden te kopen om met jullie allemaal te delen. Fijne schildervriend en bedankt voor je steun~
Now i want to see a studio tour, and what to pack in a travel bag, This is a really helpful video Debbie. I just ordered that velvet touch # 6 long round brush. Can't wait to try it out.
Wonderful! You will love it..
it has the most beautiful point :) Oh maybe I’ll do a live and share my travel art bag 🌸🎨
Hi Debbie. I ordered 1 brush, and they accidently sent me a bunch. I called them and they said to keep them. Lol!
@@RockyRoadCreationsbyDiana YEAH! Lucky you. how wonderful. You are all set~ Have fun Pollyfrog. (love your name :-) Always makes me smile.
@DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy I used that brush today. You weren't kidding about that wonderful point. It holds water beautifully, and that point is to die for.
@@RockyRoadCreationsbyDiana Right? I love when i find the brush that is so perfect~ Have fun with it.
I have a small set of Lyra watercolour pencils but most of mine are for adult colouring. I have no delusions about my ability but I’ve always loved playing around with pencils essentially and pens and paint. I’m not Sarah Renae Clark who you may have come across. She has thousands of pencils! I have over 400…Prismacolor, Arteza, Crayola, Lyra mainly. I bought most of them while in England as they weren’t available here. We are SLOWLY getting more art supplies here but nothing like what you can get. Most of our supplies come from Europe, England and Germany mostly. As you know from Winsor and Newton, they are pricey. We just don’t get the inexpensive stuff like Mei Liang. Our cheapest supplies are absolute trash…bed enough to turn even kids off painting forever!!!
Interesting I have not come across her but will check her out. I’m learning that what’s available here is just not in other areas. So interesting and unfortunate. Your collections sounds fabulous! I believe we all are crazy talented it just looks
Different for each of us. I’ve had students that walked in claiming I have zero talent and leave one of my classes smiling and happy about what they created. Makes me so happy
Happybpainting friend and thank you for the insight! 🌸🎨
Love love thank you for all your work! ❤
Can you please make a southwestern with cactus or desert 🏜️ plants! 😊
Play I am a hiker in the desert, so I love the cactus. I’ve done a few tutorials on them and would love to do another. Is it the drawing and sketching or the painting part of it?
@@DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy
💕💕💕the whole process always is amazing Seeing you doing all the work!I’ve been learning so much from you. Thank you so much.
Thank you Jenlo~ That makes all the work and time i put here (although I could paint and teach all day long, I love it!) worth it, im so happy to hear you enjoy my teaching style and tips! Happy painting friend, I Hope to see you in a zoom class oe day, always love seeing faces to the names~
The only thing is the porcelain palette doesn’t have a lid. I ordered one from Jackson Art for about the same price snd has a cover.
Thank you for a wonderful video.
Yes, you are correct. I just use it to really mix small amounts of paint. I actually have a regular pallet with a cover I use for storing my paint day day.
You are so welcome. I’m glad you enjoyed it. !
First time sketching and finished all the first 7 lessons! Great video and always helpful instructions! Where did you get that awesome mirrored brush holder as searched and wasn't able to find one like that one? Many thanks Debbie!
Hi Stacy, I picked that up at my local Homegoods. recently though so they may still have them. They had an entire section with these type of materials. I LOVE clear acrylic, so clean, and this had that pop of irredescent. The closest I found on Amazon recently was this... amzn.to/3PdnyBe
Thanks for sharing Debbie! Good to know. I'm a bling fan and also love the iridescent finish! We love our colors:-)
@@DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy
Oh me too anything shiny, shimmering, glitzy im drawin too! (sorry for late response im not seeing these replies :-()
Is there an alternative to dugato brushes on amazon UK as I cannot seem find them.
Hi! I believe Meeden might be available in the UK. I actually have sent an email to my contact there to ask. See if these come up for you on Amazon..amzn.to/3Yn0NOw
@@DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy Thankyou
Can you rub out pencil lines once watercolour has dried ?
Hi Julie Short answer… Sometimes, not always.. after I sketch out a drawing, I wil roll a needed eraser over my pencils lines to fade them out it’s perfection! I believe the kneaded eraser link is in my description you will love it
@@DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy I do have one , somewhere . Will have to search to see if I can find it .
@@julieb737 great I think it will
Work well
For you. You could always sketch with watercolor pencils too.. that’s an old hack then the pencil line just dissolves into the painting :)
@@DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy fantastic idea , thank you . I have a good selection of a decent make of them . I’ll certainly try that aswell as the kneadable rubber when I find it .
Спасибо.
Я старалась повторять за вами. Но у меня не получилось вашей легкости и шарма.
Я поняла как показать загибы лепестков.
Потрясающий! Продолжайте практиковаться, ВЫ можете это сделать, и я уверен, что у вас будет получаться все лучше и лучше. Больше всего наслаждайтесь и получайте удовольствие!
Do you ever erase your pencil lines after things dry?
Occasionally, but usually I use a Needed eraser, and my pencil lines are very very faint so they don’t show.
I make them much darker for these tutorials so you can see my lines.
another little tip is to use watercolor pencils, and it will dissolve into your painting🎨🖌️
