Magnolia

The magnolia grandiflora is a large, white, fragrant flower. To make the flower blossom stand out, keep the shading of its petals to a minimum, and shade the leaves underneath darker.

Regal Lily

Lilies are very fragrant, and the plants can grow up to eight feet tall. Use the steps below to develop the flower, which you can attach to the main stem when drawing the entire plant, as shown at the bottom of the opposite page.

Begonia

There are single- and double-flowered begonias. The double-flowered variety is a bit more difficult to draw. Don’t rush this flower, because it’s easy to lose your place. Study each step before drawing the flower yourself.

Bearded Iris

The bearded iris is probably the most beautiful of the iris varieties. Its colors range from deep purples to blues, lavenders, and whites. Some flowers have delicate, lightly colored petals with dark veining. They range in height from less than a foot to more than three feet.
