Drawing lilac is not easy, but if you understand the structure of the inflorescence, the task will become less complicated. To begin with, it is better to practice drawing small flowers, which together form a bright and fragrant ball.

If you can catch the peculiarity of the location of small umbrellas, then you will be able to draw a more complex, as it seems at first glance, and a beautiful bunch.

From this article you will learn how to draw a lilac, lilac in a vase with a simple pencil, and also how to portray a lilac inflorescence with paints.

How to draw a branch of lilac with a pencil in stages for beginners?

Let's start by studying the shape of the lilac inflorescence. To do this, just find a suitable visual material.

If you cut a branch of lilacs, put it in a glass of water, then you will have the opportunity to properly see each individual flower and practice sketch them.

In our case, picturesque photos will be the sample. Carefully consider them and start drawing. If you want to create your own picture, you can focus on the photographs presented below and draw the lilacs you like your lilacs in a slightly different way.

We will strive to portray such a part of the inflorescence.

We study the shape of a lilac flower:

Each flower resembles a bell or a long cylindrical cup in shape, which is divided into four petals in the upper part.
All petals are at the same level, have the same shape and size.

The petals can be:

with pointed edges
with rounded edges
with rhomboid edges

To make it easier to depict some flowers on the inflorescences, it is worth to practice drawing individual cups-flowers in different angles. Bringing each individual flower, you can easily move on to drawing a more complex inflorescence.

We draw a circle, inside we draw two intersecting lines. Focusing on them, draw four petals with an empty square in the center. We depict the rest of the flower, depending on the angle it is located.

How to give the shape of a lilac inflorescence?

On a sheet of paper, distribute slightly lifted ovals for one or more inflorescences. We outline the direction of the stem on which we will depict branches with flowers.
The drawing will look more interesting if you portray heart -shaped leaves. At this stage, it is worth immediately depicting the original contours of the leaves: what sizes are and in which direction they are located. We will also spend the central vein at each leaf.

We begin to draw a large flowering branch. We remember how we painted flowers. We need to outline the contours of a large cluster and compose individual bells in it.

We enter the flowers in a previously outlined general form. We depict small buds at the top of each twig.

We have both buds and flowers at different corners to show the volume of a flowering panicle.

Features of the drawing of the bunches of lilacs:

The inflorescence consists of small flowers that are not drawn in detail. Instead of “counting” four petals, just outline the flower, giving a recognizable shape to each specific element.
In this case, the bunch will look more natural. The stems are branched. Each process ends with several flowering panicles.
We return to our drawing with several branches. We begin to enter small flowers into the drawn contours of inflorescences. Add the veins on the leaves, draw the stem in more detail.
At this stage, you can consider the work ready. But you can go further and decorate it.
We add the shape of a cone or ball painted with paints. Show monochromely the volume of inflorescences. We will draw the details later.

Add the shadows in the depths of the foliage, denote the shaded areas between the flowers. In some areas of the clusters, show the gaps.
How to apply final strokes and create a wonderful drawing - watch in the video tutorial.

If you train to draw individual flowers, then you can safely move on to the next stage - the drawing of the clusters of the lilac. Let's make a drawing in 5 stages:

we draw two cone-color cones

we fill the cones with small ovals, marking future flowers on the inflorescence with auxiliary lines
draw the stem and leaves

we enter four petals into each oval, showing the core of each flower
at the top of the cone, draw elongated buds

draw veins on each leaflet
add the shadows and give the volume to some leaves and flowers, having spent an additional line in parallel the already drawn contour
we continue to apply pencil barn until the picture seems to be completed

Lilac with a simple pencil can be drawn in another way:

We draw three lines emanating from one point in the lower part of the sheet. On both sides of the midline we will draw semovali. It will be an inflorescence.

We begin to draw individual flowers inside the inflorescence.

We begin to draw separate flowers inside the inflorescence

We continue to fill the space with flowers and buds. Do not forget that elongated buds are located at the top of the inflorescences. We show them by designating a long tail with which the flower holds by the stem.

Some flowers are located outside the drawn early contour of the inflorescence.

Having reached the top of the inflorescence, add elongated buds

We finish the leaves, an elegant stem.
Show the cores of some flowers. We delete all extra pencil lines.

We decorate: the leaves are bright green, and the inflorescence is pink or purple.

We decorate

If you handled it easily with the previous pattern, then you can draw a more realistic branch of lilacs:

Let's start with the drawing of the original contours. We will give them the shape of the cone. We draw inside the central line and two transverse ones. Thus, we got several sections, each of which we begin to fill with small flowers.

We draw twigs and small leaves, gradually moving from the upper sections to the lower ones.

We depict some flowers in the form of stars: they are so tiny that they cannot be seen. We draw others in more detail, showing the core or long tail that connects to the branch.

In the lowest part, draw hearts with the veins.

How to draw a branch of lilac gouache in stages for beginners?

Let's draw a twig of a lilac with gouache:

We depict a lilac elongated oval on a sheet.

We draw dark flowers with four petals along the contour. We collect two colors on the brush at the same time: blue and purple. We put the brush to the edge of the petal and lead to the center. Such a technique is called "Chinese smear."

We begin to draw flowers along the contour — We start to draw flowers along the contour

We should get rounded beautiful edges of the petals. In some places we draw flowers in the form of stars: we type two colors on the brush, apply it to the center and take it to the side.
Closer to the center, the color becomes lighter, because this part of the inflorescence is well lit.

Closer to the center of the flowers lighter

We collect a little white paint on the brush and pass through some flowers.

Add brightness to the flowers using white paint or more saturated shades of purple

We finish the leaves and veins in green. Add a little yellow paint on the foliage.

But a simple, but spectacular method with which you can draw a lush branch of lilacs:

To begin with, we will determine how much space a bunch of lilacs will take on the sheet and we will sketch the original contour of the inflorescence. Remember that a pencil sketch is performed without a strong press on the neck.
If you ignore this rule, then even the lines erased by the eraser leave a deep mark on paper and will be visible through the layer of paint. Such work, even done correctly, will look inaccurate.
We use a wet sponge for drawing: dipping it into a mixture of purple, white and blue colors, create a bunch of clusters. Increasing the amount of white paint, we pass along the upper part of the inflorescence.
After that, we take a brush, collect two different purple -colored shade of the shade and begin to draw flowers with four petals each.
The middle part on the inflorescence is filled with flower lights, since they are under light. We draw foliage and stem.
Now you can decorate the background using the same sponge. We mix several colors on the palette so that the background looks more “alive”.

How to draw a twig of lilacs with watercolors?

For the picture you will need:

pure watercolor paper
simple pencil
eraser
watercolor paints
painter tape (for fixing paper)

We draw without pressure on a pencil a sketch of the clusters of lilacs.

At the palette, mix violet paint with blue and pink in different proportions. We collect water onto the brush and draw spots of different shapes, entering them into the boundaries of a pencil sketch.

By adding purple paint, we will give a more rich shade to some spots, which then we will “turn” into flowers.

Preparing the background spots of purple and blue colors — Cooking the background spots of purple and blue colors, well -diluted with water

Gently draw a twig along the contour along the contour, and then fill the entire space with saturated green color, leaving transparent areas in the most illuminated places.

We begin to draw a twig with green paint

Draw the contours of the petals. To do this, we need a darker shade of purple paint. The middle of the flower is a background drawn earlier.

Dark color draw the contours of the petals

We continue to draw petals. Add shadows and saturation to the petals.

How to draw a lilac in a vase?

From this step -by -step lesson you will learn how to draw lilacs in a vase in the style of impressionism.

The drawing is not complicated, but you need to be very careful so that the result pleases with the realism of forms.
We draw rounded tops of cones, which then will be lush bunches of lilacs. We draw a vase in the lower half of the sheet. The curved line denote the edges of the table.
Next, we arm ourselves with paints and fill in the drawn early sketch of the bouquet with lilac paint of different saturation, add white spots and dark purple.
We also draw leaves in a circle.
To cope with the next step, it is necessary to practice on a separate sheet of paper draw lilacs with a yellow core inside. After that, we begin to apply the cruciate strokes-shirts on lilac and purple cones.
We randomly paint the vase in blue and outline with several stroke lines the falling shadow on the table. Let's draw a glare on a vase from the window. With a reception, the drawing will make a more alive.

Drawing lilac with mint paper

Lilac can be drawn with crumpled paper.

To do this, draw twigs with dark gouache or pastel.
Add heart -shaped leaves. And only after that we take small crumpled pieces of paper and draw (print) flowers.

Dip up the minted paper at once in several different colors (blue, red, white) and leave the prints next to drawn by early twigs.

We print a paper lump with paint on paper

Mix the colors right on the work surface so that the result is a magnificent multicolor bunch of lilacs.

We continue to draw inflorescences with crumpled paper

Drawing lilac in kindergarten

In the kindergarten, you can offer the kids to draw lilacs with cotton sticks.

For work you will need:

clean sheet of paper
gouache blue, red and white
cotton buds

We explain to the children how to mix paints correctly. We prepare a mixture of red, blue and white colors (as a result, purple paint should be obtained).

Next, dip the cotton wool in paint and print on a sheet of paper. We repeat until the bunch of lilacs is lush. Green paint we draw leaves with the same cotton sticks. We perform the vase with yellow paint in a similar way.
