Step-by-Step Instructions for Drawing a Black and White Rose

How to Draw a Great Looking Black and White Rose for Kids and Beginners - Step 1

Black and White Rose step-by-step drawing tutorial: step 01

1. Begin the black and white rose outline by sketching the stem. First, use a pair of long, "S" shaped curved lines to sketch the primary stem. At the bottom, allow the lines to meet at a point.

Draw pairs of curved lines extending from the sides of the stem to create smaller twigs.

At the tip of one twig, use curved lines that meet at points to outline the sepals - small leaves that grow beneath every flower.

Roses are rife with meaning and have been so for centuries. In the secret language of floriography, white roses can mean reverence, loyalty, love, and the spiritual aspects of death.

A white rose appears on the tarot card meaning death.

Black roses, too, may symbolize tragedy, death, or mourning. Bouquets of black and white roses called "ghost roses" have become associated with Halloween.

Did you know? There is no naturally occurring truly black rose. Some roses are a deep purple verging on black.
