How to Draw Flowers with Flowers

Spring nature – art project for kids

Wherever you go you see magnificent blossom and fields full with colorful flowers you can definitely say – spring is officially here!

I absolutely love spring and adore flowers. I try to take every chance I have to capture their beauty with a camera or a paintbrush.

This time I and my 5-years old daughter tried a new way to draw flowers – without a paintbrush, using only flowers and watercolors.

All you need for this project is:

colors (I used watercolors)

paintbrush

paper

water

flowers

First we created little puddles of color with paintbrush on a color box lid or on a watercolor paper.

Then we dipped flower in color and gently pressed it down on the paper

We repeated this with different colors and added green stems using flowers stem to draw them.

It was fun simple project for both of us, and it made me think of all the different ways you can incorporate nature in your art.
