stisf and awkward appearance, whatever labour may be bestowed upon
them. And the beauty of the whole will, in a great measure, depend on
the formation of the pencilled outlines of the stalks; it will, therefore,
be necessary to sketch very lightly at first, so that any alteration or
amendment may be made with ease : and when the stalks are drawn
correctly, either from the copy or from nature, proceed to draw the
circular part of the slower, called the disk, taking care to let it
assume an oval shape, as the slowers bend from the centre either to
the right or left.
The petals that are nearest the outline of the disk must then be
drawn, taking care to let them form rays to the circle, and to make
them bend in a convex form, but not with great regularity, as they
must be drawn with freedom, and made to bend in various directions.
The broad petals are next drawn; and it will be advisable to draw one
sirst, of the proper length, making it bend gracefully. From this de-
termine the length of the whole, and draw another on the opposite side
of the disk, nearly of the same length : these two will be a sufficient
guide for the whole, and, while drawing them, observe that they each
come at sirst in direct rays from the disk towards the end: they may
be made to bend in various directions, so that they do not destroy the
general shape of the ssower. If these petals are drawn correctly, there
will be a considerable space between each at their termination, on the
outside. In these spaces the second range of petals must be drawn,
taking care that they are drawn to form rays to the centre, yet varying
in their forms toward the end. It will be found that the colouring os
these ssowers will be very easily executed, if the drawing is correct,
and therefore this part of the picture will require more attention than
in any future stage. Having drawn the flower in the centre, according
to the preceding directions, form the others in the same way.
