Hydrangea colouring sheets

-


Hydrangeas are by far one of my favourite flowers! 
I saw my first real life hydrangea when I was about 30, during a summer walk near Hamstead Heath. Its grandiose flower heads, lovely four petal flowers and breathtaking colours instantly caught my eye.
I think it's amazing how after several years in London, I can still be pleasantly surprised by finding new flowers that I never got to see while growing up in South America!

What did I use to draw them?
  • Devices: iPad 6th Generation + Apple Pencil
  • Applications: Procreate (90%) +  Adobe Draw (10%)

It's well known that I love everything to do with flowers... but when it comes to drawing/painting, I think my eyes don't have the required talent to artistically identify shapes and colours.  Still, I told myself I wanted to draw flowers and I had to find a way to achieve this! And so I decided to take an ethical "copy-paste" approach to this: I photographed as many flowers as possible I imported my selected picture into my iPad digital drawing app: Procreate® Using my Apple Pen, I traced the outlines of my flower into a new layer and voila! The main flower was drawn! Working with different layers and techniques, I coloured in the flowers and added some extra elements to finalise my drawing. If the frontal digitally drawn hydrangea looks extremely similar to the photographed one, it's because I digitally traced the original
