Poppy

The beautiful California poppy grows in a variety of colors from deep orange to pale yellow. The blossoms are paper-like and delicate. The flower spreads about two inches wide. Use the diagram here to draw the whole plant, and follow the steps to the right for the individual flower.

Pansy

Pansies grow in many color combinations. Sometimes these combinations resemble faces, almost having expressions.

When drawing the pansy, use the steps to overlap the petals so each one slightly covers another near the edges. Notice how the dark shading near the center gives the illusion of the flower having two colors, as well as three-dimensional form.
