How to Draw a Clematis
Draw a clematis in 10 easy steps, about 8 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: the trellis.
Step 1: The trellis
Draw 3 tall thin lines from low on your paper almost to the top. Draw 3 long lines across them.
Tip Clematis is a climber: it twines up a trellis.
Step 2: The vine
Start low, left of the middle. Draw a vine wiggling up to the top, getting thinner as it climbs.
Step 3: The first star
On the right of the vine, near the top, draw a small circle with 6 pointed petals round it.
Step 4: A second star
Lower down, left of the vine, draw a smaller star flower. Join it to the vine with a short stalk.
Step 5: Leaves
On the vine draw 3 small pointed leaves, each starting on the vine and pointing out.
Step 6: A tendril
From the top of the vine flick a thin curly tendril, swirling round once to the right.
Step 7: The ground
Draw a soft ground line from the left edge to the right edge. Add 2 grass blades.
Step 8: Yellow middles
Colour the flower middles yellow.
Step 9: Purple flowers
Colour all the petals purple, around the yellow middles.
Step 10: Green vine and leaves
Colour the leaves, the grass and the vine green, and your clematis is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a clematis, drawn by you.
