1. Introduction : last year, when I decided to take up the 100 Days Project Challenge, I started exploring and doodling imported plants. By the end of 100 days, I had a beautiful collection off decorated, reported plants on. I was addicted to pain them over and over. If you like painting this subject as much as I do but feel stuck after trying out a few part shapes or plants or don't know how to let loose and doodle those effortless yet decorated ported plant illustrations this classes for you. Hi, I'm Buja, the artist behind the instagram account by the league side out studio, and I welcome you to my sixth skill share class. I'm a what kind of artist and a soy candle maker based out of India. In this class, we will paint a variety of declarative parts and plants and build muscle memory to do that with ink and watercolor on the gold. Together we will work on a project step by step to sketch doodle campaigned 15 different types of potted plants. By the end off the class, you will feel confident to come up with your own shapes for flowers, parts and patterns. All right, then grab your ink and watercolors, and let's build a garden full of cute little parted plants
2. Supplies: for today's class, you won't be needing many supplies to make it really simple. In order to take this class, all you need is a simple blank. People and find depend, that is all this class expect you to have to get started and practice your parted plants. However, if you wish to use water candles for light washes on top off your ink illustrations. Here is a detailed supply list, which is what I used to compose my final project for people I'm using eight by eight watercolor part from art philosophy. I will be using watercolors for a light wash, and if you wish to color your portrait plants, using watercolor paper would be a good idea to draw my potted plants. I will be using secure a micron pen off the size 08 which is quite thick and bull. There are over idea of sizes available for the spin, and you can choose whichever you feel comfortable to draw it. I want my ink walk to be bold and seen properly, well, recording and hence I chose this size. I think size 0103 and 05 would be perfect to you. Will also need a pencil and a raise O on a scale to sketch most of the parts and plants that I'll be drawing in. This class will be directly with the pen, but feel free to use pencil and a razor wherever you think it is necessary. I generally make a rough sketch with a pencil if I'm not confident off getting the shape right, and same goes for using a scale. I'm quite bad with structured lines, and hence I will be taking help off the scale. In my final project for pains, I will be using two pallets from art philosophy, the classics palette and the vintage Basten's palette. I'm planning on doing a light wash reporter Carlo and I want to report it plans to look, settle and soft. You can choose any water colors you like and paint them in your style For painting the parts and plants. I will be using size zero and sites to round brushes from Princeton Heritage Centre X able 4050 Siri's. You will also need a jar of clean water and issue to clean your brushes, and that is pretty much that you will need for this class. Now let's practice join some ports, flowers and patterns before we begin our final project
3. Practicing Pot Shapes: The purpose of this exercise is to get your ideas on paper and bill your muscle memory to hold a pen and be able to draw with a steady hand. I'm going to try and draw as many port shapes as I can. In this section, though we have drawing is self explanatory, and you can draw along with me by letting yourself draw this way, you can get into the group and understand how your pen work turns out and how much control you need to put on your line work. So without thinking too much, start drawing and practicing all possible port shapes that come to your mind and get yourself comfortable before we begin our class project for today, Make sure to include various shapes like copes, squares, ovals, circles and structured lines, while drawing your parts keeps imports short and broad. While a few tall and slender, you can add handles to a few off them, keep some off them transparent or even draw a boot to show a corky potted plant. When drawing shapes, don't worry too much about straight lines or perfect symmetry. Feel free to make changes on the fly. If you feel stuck. Refer to my designs, and you can use those to build up your imagination. - As I start drawing, I'm focusing on one line at a time and then slowly adding refinements to make the shape look interesting. Please note that I'm not trying to draw anything in a clean or perfect manner. As you immerse yourself into drawing, ideas will start flowing. This exercise will help you overcome the feeling off, having no ideas and thereby build your confidence to draw directly with a pen. - It is my observation that I'm not good at drawing straight lines, and hence in my final project, I'll be taking help off a scale to draw structured lines. So feel free to use any geometric instrument to make the project in your own style. All right, let's take our time and draw some more ports and meet in the next section.
4. Practicing Flowers and Leaves: This exercise is very similar to the one we did earlier, but we will try to draw flowers and leaves in a different manner. I will try to draw basic flower shapes and show you how you can make them look declarative or simply more interesting. We are familiar with basic flower drawing process, but if you add even minor details to these flowers, you will get something totally different and a lot more attractive and declarative. For the simple round petal flower, I added interest violin layers around it to make it look detailed and full of. Let's try one more simple flower and see how we can enhance it. Now, if you active tails near the center off the flower, or simply call a few patrons, your flower will instantly look distinct and catch attention to all the minute details. - Okay , let's try a few more examples for the next one. Simply adding coughed petals can make so much of a difference, and our movement on Greece to your flower for the next one. Um, Addington strokes around the center, which will instantly brighten up the flower, making it look bold. - Let's try one more. The simple flower looks a lot more attractive When be Adam Extra circle around the center on a few sharp lines. Using these examples, feel free to draw more flower shapes. Use your imagination to draw shapes off petals, and soon you will come up with flowers that are unique and they will become your style. In our final project, we will explore more designs and shapes for drawing flowers. Now let's try some leaves back, destroying leaves off various shapes like teardrop, surrounded, pointed and so on at interesting details to your leaves by drawing extras, thoughts or dance lines to represent their winds. When you're drawing plants in the parts, make sure to draw leaves off reading sizes that will instantly make your plants look realistic and attractive.
5. Ideas for Decorative Patterns for Pots: in this section, I will draw some decorative patterns in the form of borders to draw on the surface off parts. We will start by drawing a basic to line Bardo and then fill up the space in between but interesting designs. You can stick to simple vertical lines or draw up and down straight lines and repeated one more time to show two layers. Sometimes you can fill up certain shapes in Abbado to enhance it. For though you can also make use off beautiful Popes and shape off the waves to make a unique looking border, you can draw circles close to each other and then fill up the rule again with solid black dots. Slanting lines also looked very interesting as a pattern, so don't forget to use this design. You can also draw borders that are north straight lines, but cops see shapes and closing different geometric shapes like circles. Square borders look equally interesting, so you can add one off these as well. For broader parts, you can directly at sexual and patterns onto the surface off the parts while drawing designs on the port. Have a look at the nature off the plant and the basic shape off the port. If your plant is very dense with intricate leaves, flowers and stems, keep their design on the part very basic and simple. Try not to overdo your part, which may take the attention away from the plant. On the other hand, if you plant this simple with just a few basic big leaves or a single stem, then consider adding details to your port to balance out. Also, it is not necessary to act designed to each and every part. Always remember, simple is classic. Once you find that balance, you will start enjoying to drop patterns and not feel lost while adding last minute details to your drawings. In the next section, we will begin with our final project to draw 15 unique declarative parted plants.
6. Final Project - Part 1: Let's start by drawing over forced plant, which I want to be in a transparent jar filled with water for a clean and structured look. I will be using my scale wherever necessary. Keep the jar slightly told her, so you can draw delicate and long stems inserted into it. I'm drawing a rough water level inside it to show the immersed stems. Then I realized slightly called stems, coming out off the chart in different directions. Try not to act too many, since it will be difficult to activities to each one off them and it would look crowded. Feel free to tone your beige around while drawing the stems on top of each of the stems. Um, adding a layer rounded petal flower, which we practiced earlier. I will draw for such blooms off rating sizes. Try not to draw every flower off the exact same size, - then to make the stems look complete at small leaves around them. I will then finish off the job by adding some my new details, like small troops to the stems water level and some picture on the jar. Let's move one to the next one. I wonder sport to be slightly broader at the base and have a short age at the top. So I'm giving it a shape off a trap resort to make it look unique. This what will be opaque and hence we can are some design on the surface for the flowers. I'm drawing some side facing two lips. I had a few layer petals to each flower and draw 4 to 5 such side facing two lips. Make sure you place the two lips at different heights to make it look interesting once the flowers up, least amounting thick stems to the flowers and some lives around them to make the port look fuller and lush. I will then are some borders that we practiced olio and finish it with some extra details. If you want the design on the part to look intense, you can add multiple borders on the surface off the part for the next one. I want to draw a terracotta port with the typical order import ship for the flowers. I'm drawing the basic 5 to 6 petal flower with a prominent center and some cold patterns, which we practiced in the old earlier section. I will draw a couple of more such flowers and then fill up the white space with leaves off different sizes to make it look like a shrub in apart to decorate the porter matting a border with slanting lines and finishing off with double lines around it. So now you have your force three parts ready and to make them look together, I'm going to draw a wooden surface underneath and are some texture to it. - Let's draw some more ports and plants in the next section.
7. Final Project - Part 2: Let's draw our next set off ported plants for the 1st 1 I'm thinking of drawing a broad port with dense flowers in it. As you can see, I'm not stressing too much on getting the shape off the port or effect and symmetry. Once my basic port shape is in place, I've been start filling up the space on the top with simple flowers. I'm drawing basic four bedroom flowers with each pedal. With the shape of your heart. Place these flowers close to each other to make the portal of Ben's. - After you have drawn enough flowers, start filling up the white gaps with leaves. I'm keeping the size of my leave slightly smaller than the flowers. Wherever necessary. Keep adding flowers and continue adding leaves to the shrub. Looks complete. - Now that my shrub is done, I will add some borders on the part and some finishing touches. - If you observe, I'm just putting together the radius borders that we practiced earlier and making a design out of for it. All right, let's move onto the next one for this sport. I want to draw a jar with a slant edge on the top and a handle for the flowers and drawing a couple of cornflowers. Each flower is layered with a lot of battles, and then I'm drawing long stems and adding some leaves. - I'm finishing off the part with some borders on a diamond shaped flower in the center for the next ported plant, I sketched a nice long boot with the help of a pencil. Like I mentioned before. If there is a shape you're not confident about getting write with a pen, feel free to sketch it out. Now that I have the line work, I will build the boot design and the flowers on top of this, for the flowers are minding the basic five pageant flower, which we practiced earlier and then adding some details near the center and some leaves around it. - For the boat design. I will draw a simple buckle and some polka dots on the surface off the entire boot. That is pretty much how I wanted to be. - I will finish off the set of potted plants by drawing a wooden plank underneath
8. Final Project - Part 3: for my next portrait plant. I'm sketching a watering again. I think watering cans look adorable when used to port plants, so let's try to include one in our project. Once the basic line work is in place, I will start my design with the pen. For the flowers, I'm drawing 5 to 6 flowers of different sizes, each with six round petals. After you finished drawing enough flowers, you can start adding leaves around the stems. - Once the can starts to look for low, you can stop adding flowers and work on its surface. - For the next portrait plant, I'm drawing a slender rectangular port and drawing dawn stems with circular buds and some leaves. - I'm finishing off the part by drawing some lines in a random geometric pattern style. Okay, let's go on to the next one and start drawing the part for this one. I'm drawing a boxy, trapezoidal part. I'm sticking to the basic teardrop shaped patterns for the flowers and adding a simple border to the pot. I hope that by now you've gotta hang off this process off drawing and decorating parted plants and that you're totally enjoying this cute little designs. Now let's move on to the next set
9. Final Project - Part 4: Let's work on our last set off ported plants. I'm going to try and get as much where ideas I can in these last few declarative parted plants. So let's get up and make a few more unique designs to finish our set of 15. This time I want to draw a small little top with a handle is apart in the part. I want to show two types of flowers to make things interesting. I'm going to include the four petal hardship flowers on some many rules like blooms and some leaves to complement the arrangement. - To complete the top design, I will add a little flour on the surface and some borders for the next one. I wish to draw something unique, and hence actuals are chemistry flask. I really like this shape and thought off, including it as a transfer important. The project for this flask shaped part I'm going to draw something long stems dipped in water. I'm drawing stick like flowers on top off the stems inspired by the dandelions, and that's it. I just want this one to be simple yet unique. For the next ported plan, I drew a normal rectangular port and added a twist by adding multiple layers under the base because the part is heavy on design, I added a simple leafy bush on the top to balance out. Let's move on to the next one. I will draw simple terracotta port, and I had some bushy big leaves to begin with. For the flowers, I'm drawing long droopy stems and adding bell shaped flowers at the tip off the stems. I'm trying 4 to 5 such overlapping flowers. I wish to keep the spot simple, so not adding too many details on the part. It is now the time to draw a cute little board with a cactus in it. I'm drawing a simple box seaport and just adding a pin cushion. Characters rooted in the port, um, adding a small bloom on the top to make the characters look right and stand out. I'm completing the body of the characters by adding some texture and some needles and spines at the base off the port, amounting a few delicate and 10 borders to complete the look.

Let's paint a few off them with the light wash of water colors and see how they turn out. I will see you in the last and final segment off this project.
10. Painting the Project + Final Thoughts: in this concluding section off the class, I will paint the Force two sets off plants with light washes of watercolor, amusing, really subtle shades just to show a hint of condo on my parts and plants. My line work here is quite bold and strong, and that is the reason why I want to keep my colors light and soft. Painting noodles is quite satisfying and this is one of my favorite parts of the whole process. I would also like to mention that the black and white look off the parted plants itself looks very appealing, so it is not necessary to paint all of them. You can try painting off you and see which style suits you better. So go ahead and enjoy filling in some color. And I'm sure you will feel good and satisfied while you watch my painting process.
