Now I will show you how to draw a dahlia. These are very beautiful flowers. I think you will enjoy drawing this wonderful flower.
The inflorescence consists of many petals. All dahlias are brightly colored. The color of the petals can be different – white, pink, lilac, red, burgundy, yellow, orange. The bud can be one-color, or it can have petals of different shades, where there is a smooth transition from one color to another.
