Learn More About The Watering Can Drawing

Watering cans are portable containers used to water plants by hand. Most have a handle and a spout to direct the water. Some spouts have a perforated head so that the water falls on the plant gently, like rain. This is called the "rose."

The term "watering can" first appeared in the sixteenth century. Before that, similar tools had been called "watering pots." By the 1700s, modern style watering cans were in use.

Today, watering cans may be metal, ceramic, or plastic. The rustic design, as seen in our illustration, is still popular, both as a useful tool and as a decoration. In addition to watering plants, watering cans are used as flower pots, as home decor, and as art elements in statuary.

Metal watering cans often symbolize rural living or "the good old days." Other watering cans may feature whimsical shapes or depictions of popular characters.

Would you like to draw a rustic watering can? This easy, step-by-step drawing tutorial is here to help. All you will need is a pencil, an eraser, and a sheet of paper. You may also wish to use crayons, colored pencils, markers, or something else to shade your finished drawing.
