I have prepared for you interesting master classes drawing roses in pencil and watercolor: from simple to the most complex. So quickly arm yourself with colored pencils and a brush - let's get started!

How to draw a rose with a pencil

1. Light movements Using a pencil, make a sketch of a rose: draw an oval bud and stem.

2. In the center of the oval, draw petals that look like a spiral.

3. Draw each petal clearly. Pay attention to all the bends and folds.

4. Make the necessary thickenings, highlighting the main lines on the flower and stem.

5. Great! Now do some shading in the shadow areas. This will make the rose more voluminous and more realistic.

Our masterpiece is ready to be tried on and decorate one of the walls of your room.

Interesting! Persia (Iran) is considered the birthplace of the rose. In the Persian language, the name of the flower sounds “gul”, and the country itself has long had a second name - Gulistan.

The Persians' interest in growing roses was picked up by the Greeks. One of Greek myths says: “When the goddess of beauty and love Aphrodite learned about the death of her beloved Adonis while hunting, she went to the mountains of Cyprus to look for the handsome man’s body. Thorn thorns and sharp stones wounded her fragile legs, and drops of blood falling to the ground turned into red roses.”

How to draw a rose step by step

If you are not new to drawing, and paper and pencil are your best friends, I suggest a complex version of drawing a rose with a pencil. Let's take the following image as an example:

1. Draw long arc- stem. Mark the upper and lower boundaries of the bud, as well as its center.

2. Now draw the middle of the bud. It consists of many curled leaves.

Gradually add other petals to the rose. Pay attention to the rigor and geometricity of the forms.

You will get a rose like this:

3. Draw the stem and leaves of the rose.

4. It's time to add shadows and make our flower voluminous. Look carefully at the photo of the rose and start shading the dark areas of the image. Ideal for shading soft pencil.

5. Now add penumbra with light pencil movements. Note: petals that curl outward must have highlights and become darker closer to the edges.

6. Detail the leaves and add shadows to them.

That's all! The Queen of Flowers is ready.

Interesting! IN Ancient Rome The white rose was considered a symbol of silence. If during a ceremonial meal in the hall there was a white rose above the guests, everyone understood that the conversation at the table was not subject to disclosure. Still preserved popular expression“Sub rosa dictum” (“I said under the rose”). This means that everything said is a big secret.

Roman soldiers wore rose wreaths to ward off fear before battle. Pink wreaths were also awarded to prominent figures in Rome.

How to paint a rose with watercolors

Roses painted in watercolors look especially sophisticated and elegant. To create the following image, the artist used professional paints. You can take the most common ones.

1. Select an image of a rose and make a subtle sketch. If it is difficult to do this yourself, on a sunny day, attach the drawing to the window and transfer it onto paper.

2. Apply an initial layer of paint. Color each petal separately. Before you paint the next petal, let the previous one dry well, otherwise the colors will run.

To ensure the colors mix harmoniously:

  • wet the petal with water and then apply paint,
  • apply one color, then add another.

3. In addition to pink and orange shades, add purple, blue and cherry shades. This way you will be able to make the drawing rich.

4. When the roses are completely dry, move on to the background. The role of the background will be played by colored spots. Paints must be applied to wet paper.

5. When the first layer of paint is completely dry, start working on the shadows of the flowers. Along with coral, pink and red flowers, add yellow, purple, and blue shades. The flower will become beautiful and expressive.

6. Make the background deeper by applying another layer of paint on top of the previous one. But make sure that the background does not stain the flowers or overshadow them. It is not very good if the surroundings are brighter than the object being depicted.

7. Detail the image by adding veins and shadows to some of the petals.

Congratulations! The picture is ready.

Interesting! Today there are 6,000 known species of roses bred by humans. But the Japanese were the most impressive. They managed to grow a chameleon rose. This amazing flower changes color depending on the light. During the day the rose is scarlet, in the evening it is white.

Rose is an amazingly beautiful flower with an interesting bud shape, graceful petals, and a rich palette of colors. No wonder the queen of flowers is present at many greeting card, and artists love to depict it. Schoolchildren also like to draw roses to please their mother, grandmother, favorite teacher, or simply to admire a beautiful composition. Of course, children's masterpieces are simple and spontaneous, but adults can help a child improve his visual skills. So, for example, in various techniques You can successfully use step-by-step drawing.

Necessary tools and materials for drawing

For a fruitful creative activity for a schoolchild, adults, first of all, must equip him workplace- provide a spacious table. Great importance has a comfortable chair: the young artist should not sit bent over.

To work in various techniques you will need the following tools:

  • sheets of white A4 paper;
  • colored loose cardboard (for painting with gouache);
  • a simple pencil (soft or hard-soft), always sharpened;
  • eraser;
  • colored pencils (as an option - wax crayons);
  • gouache;
  • watercolor paints;
  • brushes of different thicknesses.

You can draw a rose using graphic techniques, colored pencils, paints

Another task for an adult is to prepare technological maps with step-by-step drawing diagrams in advance, so that the child always has them at hand (these may well be photographs from thematic sites).

How to draw a rose with a pencil step by step

Rose - not only very beautiful flower, but also a rather complex object to draw (a bud consists of many petals nested one inside the other). But if the child draws it with a pencil step by step, then he will succeed.

There is no need to press too hard on the tool when applying the first strokes. The approximate outlines of the flower should be such that the student can easily erase them in case of a mistake. You can draw brighter lines at the final stage of work (you can use a soft pencil for this purpose).

Rose buds

A flower arrangement can consist of only a bud (or several), without a stem, surrounded by petals.

  1. First you should mark the center of the bud.

    The first stage is the designation of the central part of the bud

  2. After this, we arrange petals of various shapes around the center, below and above, on the sides. The degree of fluffiness of the flower depends on how much the artist extends the lines of the bud.

    From the center to different sides petals of arbitrary shape should come off

  3. Gradually the rose becomes more and more lush.

    The queen of flowers is becoming more and more magnificent

  4. And finally, the charming bud is ready.

    A lush bud has already been drawn

  5. The next stage of drawing is the image of leaves. They should also be different sizes and differ from each other in shape: some are intricately curved, others are more straight.

    Leaves of different sizes and shapes are depicted around the bud.

  6. AND finishing touch- you need to mark the veins on the leaves to make them more realistic.

    To make the image more realistic, the veins need to be marked on the leaves

Another way to depict a bud is to start with a spiral, gradually building petals around it.

The center of the rose bud resembles a spiral

Unblown rose buds also look charming. The base in this case will be a small semicircle - it is from this that the stem extends, and at the bottom the bud is surrounded by small green leaves. In the upper part you need to add a few petals: the degree of splendor of the flower depends on their number.

Drawing a half-closed bud begins with a semicircle, inside of which the petals are depicted

Rose with stem

The next version of a rose is a flower with a stem and leaves. Let the bud be almost closed again.

Drawing a rose in a vase

Roses in vases or pots look great in pictures. Getting started creative process, young artist must decide where he will start working: with a flower or a vase.


Coloring a sketch with colored pencils

After the child learns to draw roses realistically with a simple pencil, you can start coloring the silhouette with colored pencils or crayons. The following important points are taken into account.


Regarding the used color range, then children most often depict roses as red. But this flower can have many other shades in the composition: pink, yellow, orange, lilac. Roses painted in a very dark shade of red - almost black - look spectacular.

Note that in their drawings, younger schoolchildren often simply fill the outlined outline with the desired color.

In drawings junior school student usually no shadow transitions

The small shadow on the petals looks much more interesting in the picture.

At an older age, children can already identify a shadow

Another effective artistic solution is to have the petals edged in a different color (for example, purple or brown if the petal itself is pink or red).

The edging of the flower can be made in a different color - it always looks beautiful

The basis for drawing a bud is a large circle Drawing begins with a spiral Petals are formed around the oval The bud is drawn on the basis of an oval You can start the drawing with both a flower and a pot The shape of the bud resembles a heart

Specifics of gouache painting for beginners

Children love to paint flowers with gouache. After all, the compositions always turn out bright and expressive. This technique is ideal for beginning artists: errors and inaccuracies can be masked without damaging the painting.

Since gouache is opaque and contains white, you need to paint from dark to light, but not vice versa. First, the child must decide on the composition and color palette, and then begins to paint the dark areas. Light highlights and color accents are indicated in the final work.

In gouache drawing special meaning has a background. It can be of two types.

  1. Uniform painting beyond the pencil sketch: the rose itself and the background are indicated by certain colors.
  2. Filling. First, the background of the picture is drawn up, and when it dries, the flower itself is drawn (as an option, you can initially use not white paper, and colored cardboard).

Let's consider specific examples drawing roses with gouache.

Bouquet of roses


Rose on a green background

Gouache is good because it allows you to paint on a dark background. So, for a rose you can choose a dark green base.

  1. Using a thin brush, draw a red rosebud.

    Draw a red bud on a green background with a brush

  2. We blur the resulting image with water.

    Blurring with water will create shimmering shades

  3. Using light green gouache we depict a thin stem and graceful leaves. The spines and veins on the leaves are indicated with a darker shade of green.

    Draw the stem and leaves in different shades of green

  4. Next, we make the bud more voluminous: we mark the boundaries of the petals with a light pink color.

    We decorate the petals in the bud with pale pink color

  5. The final stage of the drawing is working on the background. Let's create beautiful tints using green strokes of dark and light shades.

    Strokes light and dark green make the background more expressive

Features of painting with watercolors

Painting with watercolors is a more responsible job, since flaws will already be obvious. But this technique allows you to create delicate and exquisite flower arrangements. After some practice, the student will be able to draw quite realistic roses, which seem to emanate freshness.

First, again, a pencil sketch is made. The pattern should be slightly noticeable (no need to put pressure on the tool). Then comes work with watercolors. Be sure to wash the paint with water: it should be almost transparent, without a clearly defined color. When coloring a bud, it is better to use several shades to make the rose look natural.

It is better to secure the paper with tape or tacks: when it gets wet and then dries, unsightly waves may form.

Let's look at a specific example.

  1. The first stage is a pencil sketch of a rose.

    The lines of the pencil sketch should be thin and dim

  2. We dilute the raspberry paint heavily with water and apply it to the surface of the bud using a thick brush. We denote the lower part of it with light green watercolor (also very diluted).

    The bud is painted with highly diluted crimson paint.

  3. When the initial layer dries, the edges of the petals are shaded with warm-colored paints. The background is indicated by a dark, cold tone (for example, purple). This will visually make the rose brighter. In this case, the light parts of the rose are shaded with a dark tone, and the dark ones, respectively, with a light tone. Color heterogeneity is welcome: the image will be more natural. To mark the veins on the petals you will need a thin brush. She works on the base and middle of the bud. It is important not to overdo it with dark shades: otherwise the pattern may become “cartoonish”.

    The image becomes realistic due to color heterogeneity

  4. The final part of the work is decorating the background. Here you can experiment with shades of green, and also use yellow, purple, pink and blue. Interesting technique- those shades that are present in the palette of the rose itself are added to the corners of the background. This will balance the composition, making it warmer and more harmonious.

    It’s good if the color palette of the rose and the background overlap

Drawing from notebook cells

An interesting technique that children usually love is drawing by cells. This method allows you to create entire paintings, because it does not require special visual skills, but only attention, patience and perseverance. This activity is also a great way to relax. Girls love to decorate their diaries with such flowers.

The child is offered a template where each cell is painted a certain color, all together they make up a drawing, in this case a beautiful rose.

Let's consider different variants drawing roses by cells.

Most easy way images when the bud and stem with leaves are monochromatic, for example, painted in bright red and green.

The simplest option with a single-color bud

You can only draw a bud by cells: in this case, the emphasis is on the play of shades (burgundy, light and dark lilac).

You can draw only the bud in the cells, paying attention to the play of shades

By coloring the bud, you can play with all the colors of the rainbow - the image will turn out to be very original.

You can play with the most different colors, coloring the bud

Another interesting option- play with the location of the petals and bud.
