Making Pictures
Here is a most unusual way to draw pictures and one which is ex- tremely realistic. Get a good plece of drawing paper and sketch your flowers in pencil in the usual man. her. If you cannot draw, make a tracing from a good copy. It is better, however, to try and copy real flowers.
Having made the drawing, colour the work as carefully as you can. Up to now, you have done nothing un- usual, but the next step makes the work quite original.
You take a slurp knife and partial- ly cut round the outline of the leaves and petals, and this allows you to lift them up. Take one leaf or petal at, a time, raise it and curl it by running the petal between the thumb and a round pencil. Make the movement two or three umes and a natural curl will result. It stands out and looks as real as pleture can look.
