A study of two sweet-pea flowers with folded petals, paired leaves and a curled tendril on textured paper. Set two flower centers at different heights on one sprig.

A way into the drawing

1. Establish the main forms

   Set two flower centers at different heights on one sprig.

2. Build the structure

   Arrange each broad banner petal above the smaller side and lower petal shapes.

3. Develop selected details

   Add the paired leaflets and one tendril, then shade only the flower overlaps.

A small thing to tryKeep the two blossoms at different angles so their petal structures are clear.
