Continuing the flower theme, I will tell how to draw a bouquet of flowers. This time, not just one, but a whole bunch of different ones. In general, now the bouquet symbolizes love-carrots, and, in general, all sorts of drool-snot. Why men give flowers, we already know (or guess). It remains only to find out where this tradition came from.
First story.
A long time ago, when water in plastic bottles was not sold on the third planet from the sun, there were only two people: Adam and Eve. And everything would be fine if someone didn't want an apple. Well, in general, everyone knows this story about an apple? Poor Eve was upset, upset that they would not be able to live in paradise now as before. And God gave her a bouquet of flowers as a consolation. This is such a beautiful story.
Second story.
And there is an even more rational and less ancient tale. Probably, our great-grandmothers could easily catch this. At the time when the men returned from hunting, they brought home not only the carcass of a bear, but also an armful of flowers! So note to modern men: the getter carried a bouquet to the house. It is clear that at that time it was not a sign of attention. The brought flowers were dried and used for medicinal purposes. Not a bad tradition.
How to draw a bouquet of flowers with a pencil step by step
Step one
First, outline the outline of the vase. Place large circles on top of it. A little later they will turn into buds. 
step two
Let's make a little vase. Let's start drawing flowers: stems, core, leaves. 
Step Three
Draw smaller ones between the large ones. Some of them are smooth, some are serrated.
Step Four
On the vase we have a drawing - a heart. Now let's pay attention to individual large flowers. These are roses. To draw them correctly, you can refer to special lessons: about a rose and about a bouquet of roses. 
Step five
Now let's do the hatching. Shade some small leaves harder. The cores of the flowers should also turn out dark. The petals themselves are lighter. Well, perhaps our bouquet is ready. Now it can be colored.

How to quickly draw a flower using different techniques.
Draw what you like
The first step is to select an object. Start with the colors you like: it's always easier to draw what inspires you. Gerberas, magnolias or tulips - make a watercolor bouquet to your taste.
Determine the shape of the flower
Determine the simple, basic shape of the plant. It can be a cone, a bell or a triangle. You may want to start drawing faster and skip this step. But believe me: it helps a lot and speeds up the process.
By sketching the basic shape with light lines, you will understand the structure of the whole plant.
Advice: The first sketch can be done in a sketchbook. When drawing on watercolor paper, do not take a very soft pencil and do not press too hard. Otherwise, the paper may be damaged and the lines will remain visible after erasing.
Draw the leaves correctly
It depends on the leaves how convincing the image will be. The secret is not to interrupt the line of the main central vein. If it is out of place, the sheet will look unnatural. Start drawing the leaf from the central vein. Imagine that the sheet is transparent and you can only see its edges and veining.
Advice: when drawing, do not erase unnecessary lines immediately. Otherwise, there is a chance to make a mistake again. And if the wrong line remains before your eyes, it will be easier to draw the correct one next to it.
To get a soft uniform wash, it must first be moistened with water. This allows the ink to flow naturally before it begins to soak into the paper, and allows additional time for the color to stretch (create a smooth transition from one color to another) and blot out the highlights.
Moisturize from the middle and blur the water towards the edges. Repeat a couple of times to make sure the paper is well dampened. In this case, the edges will not dry so quickly. After you have evenly distributed the water, check if there are any “puddles” left on the surface of the paper, and if there are, blot them with a damp brush.
1. Draw water on the brush and moisten one leaf or petal. The surface of the paper should acquire a uniform sheen.
2. While the paper is damp, apply paint.
3. Spread the color to the edges of the drawing with a minimum number of brush strokes.
4. Gently stretch the paint to the edges of the element, while aligning the outline.
5. Before the wash dries, you can blot the paint to bring out the highlights and emphasize the shape of the element.
Color Stretching Technique
It is often necessary to use two or more colors on the same area. The advantages of this method are that you do not need to put an additional blur and it is easy to immediately set the desired shape. You can work simultaneously with any number of colors.
1. Moisten a single petal or leaf with clean water, then apply the first color paint.
2. While it is still wet, apply a second color next to it.
3. Flatten the tip of the brush and make a transition between colors.
4. Continue until the transition is smooth. Try to work quickly before the paint dries. Avoid unnecessary strokes, otherwise, after drying, there will be streaks. In the example in the photo, such a stroke is visible on the fold of the petal.
5. Before the paint dries, blot the highlights and outline the veins on each petal. A smooth color change can be applied to indicate the direction of the light. Draw the rest of the petals in the same way. Work on them through one, so as not to touch the still wet layer of paint on the adjacent petal, and when they are completely dry, proceed to the missed ones.
Technique "Textured blotting"
This is an interesting technique that is suitable for complex folded or wavy petals. For example, to simulate folds on the surface of a poppy petal.
1. Moisten the paper in the desired area and apply a rich red wet-on-wet paint.
2. While the paint is still wet, add a dark purple to the base of the flower to blend in with the red.
3. With a crumpled paper towel, blot the paint only once.
4. Raise the towel.
5. Repeat a couple of times, using a clean towel each time to avoid getting paint from the towel back onto the drawing.
6. Let dry completely and refine the highlights to create petal folds.
Advice: For the first wash, take saturated colors right away so that you don’t have to enhance the color later. Darker shades will give a nice, strong contrast between dark and light in the pattern.

Simple tips on how to draw a bouquet of flowers in stages will help any aspiring artist to paint his own picture.
How to draw a simple bouquet
Regardless of what flowers the bouquet will consist of, the first stages of drawing should be the same:
- Outline the general contours of the bouquet.
- Schematically, ovals and lines represent the buds and stems of flowers.
- Allocate the middle of the flowers, the largest leaves and petals.
- Draw buds, flowers, stems and leaves, taking into account the characteristics of specific flowers.

How to draw a bouquet of real flowers
Drawing abstract flowers is easier than drawing cornflowers, roses or gladioli. However, a bouquet of real flowers looks more realistic, it turns an ordinary drawing into a beautiful painting.
In order to draw a bouquet of flowers with a pencil or paints, you must:
- Decide what flowers the bouquet will consist of. It is better for novice artists to limit themselves to 1-2 types. The more varieties of plants included in the bouquet, the more difficult and longer the work will be.
- To study how the selected flowers look like, what shapes and sizes their buds, open flowers, stems and leaves have.
- See what patterns and colors are characteristic of these colors. If the drawing is done in pencil, then patterns and shades must be conveyed through transitions between light and shadow.
The figure shows an example of a phased drawing of a bouquet of roses.
The drawing is done in pencil, at the request of the artist, the bouquet can be painted or left in black and white.
Working with paints will require additional effort and patience. The video shows a lesson in drawing a bouquet of delicate purple flowers.

Draw a bouquet of roses
Dissolving fragrant, velvety roses on paper is a little more difficult than painting ordinary flowers. But a beautifully designed drawing can be presented to a loved one in the same way as real roses. Let's try to draw with you a bouquet of these beautiful flowers. A rose, as a rule, is a flower of five petals, leaves and stems with thorns.
Step-by-step instruction
Step 1. The first action is the image of the stems. To do this, draw two smooth intersecting lines running diagonally along the plane of the sheet. Draw circles at the top points of the stems, thereby indicating the location of the flowers. Use curved lines to recreate the outlines of the leaves on the stems of your roses.
Step 2. Drawing a bouquet of flowers from roses is quite simple, if before that you carefully study the object, “taking it apart” in your mind into its component parts and lines. Having sketched out a sketch of the future picture, draw petals inside the circles, marking them with wavy arc lines. The arcs should intersect with each other, recreating the effect of petals overlapping each other. Draw one more line parallel to the line of stems.
Step 3. Sheets need to be drawn with uneven lines with small corners. Draw a central vein on each. When you have finished shaping the leaves, add one parallel line to the stems on which they are located. Give rose stems thorns. Decide for yourself how to draw a bouquet of flowers: as a still life (in black and white) or as a full-fledged color picture.
Step 4. Give the edges of the petals a natural look, making them not rounded, but uneven. On the leaves, draw small veins in the direction from the center line to the edges.
Gently erase the auxiliary outlines of the sketch and extra lines with the help of an eraser. Then circle the image with a pencil to give it a finished look. The drawing is ready!
We hope that our tips on how to draw a bouquet of flowers helped you. Don't be discouraged if the picture is not so believable. Drawing requires regular practice, and the more often you pick up a pencil, the more beautiful your “reproductions” will turn out. And who knows, maybe in the future it will turn out that a modern Michelangelo lives in you!
