How to Draw Daisy Step by Step

At first, let`s look at the painting which you should get as a result of this painting lesson:
Composition Shape and Size
We will draw different daisies: small and big daisies, daisy losing blossoms, and those with slightly opened buds. It is important to mark the handsome stems of the daisy and attach the circles and ovals of the future flowers to them at the initial stage of your work.
The big circle shows the edges of daisy petals. The small circle inside is the center of a daisy.
As you can see, all the daisies are turned to different sides. Pay attention to the green leaves of daisy.
At first, draw a sketch, slightly touching the paper.
Now let`s come over to the next stage of our online painting course and
Paint the Petals and Leaves
Since the daisy is a very simple flower, we will not divide the work on our picture into many stages.
At first, you should slightly outline the petals, leaves, and buds and draw in the center of a daisy a bit.
- Outline the petals on all of the flowers according to the shapes and edges which you have outlined earlier. The daisy petals resemble greatly elongated ovals. There are barely noticeable jags on the edges of petals.
- Mark the center of a flower, where the small hollow often happens to be, more clearly. The central part of a daisy is saddle-backed. This should also be marked with the help of strokes.
- The daisy stems are thin and can be bent several times. There can be one or many daisy flowers on one stem.
- The green leaves of a daisy, as well as the flowers, can be of different shapes depending on the daisy kind. The daisy with small and thin leaves can be often seen.
When the sketch is finished, take a soft pencil and improve everything you have outlined.
To enhance the beauty and daintiness of daisy, make several strokes over the enlightened petals with the help of white pastel.
