Flower Doodle: Spring Art Project

I found this project on Pinterest with a variety of background options.

In these instructions, we’ll use paint but you can do any background with any material.

Consider a tissue paper background like in these Zentangle leaves.


Time required: 2 sessions (requires dry time in between)

Day 1 (background) - 20-30 minutes

Day 2 (flowers) - 30-45 minutes

Materials day 1:

  • White paper

  • Watercolour paint (we use tempera pucks but you can use liquid)

  • Large paint brush

  • Water cup

Materials day 2:

  • Background from day 1

  • White paper

  • Sharpie

  • Scissors

  • Glue stick


Steps day 1:

  • Paint the background by creating vertical stripes along your paper.

  • Leave to dry.

Steps day 2:

  • With a pencil, draw 3-4 doodle flowers with designs in the petals and leaves.

  • Trace the flowers with a black Sharpie.

  • Cut out the flowers, leaving a white edge. This is especially important around the stem.

  • Glue the flowers onto the background.
