In this section, we’ll break down different types of flowers, plants, and leaves to their basic shapes; then we’ll discuss how to visually organize them to create stunning floral compositions and illustrative accents. For practice, I highly suggest looking up reference photos to study different petal and leaf shapes—better yet, go out into your neighborhood or park for some life observation! Try the exercises below to warm up.
