To start your drawing of a hedge, you’ll notice that I begin with simple lines and shapes. This is a great way to lay the groundwork for your artwork. Once the basic outline is in place, I save the coloring for the end, which allows you to see how the drawing develops step by step. While I will share some color ideas with you, remember that this is your creation! You can choose any colors you like to make your hedge unique.In total, there are six steps to follow in this lesson.
