He was most successful at still-lifes and portraits, and he also liked to copy works of the masters exhibited in the Louvre. The reproductions he painted sold well, so he settled near the museum and looked in almost daily.

3.
To make the leaves more realistic, make jagged lines. Also draw a curving line through the middle of each leaf. Add a second line to each leaf stalk. Along each stalk, add small, curving thorns.
4.
Finish drawing the petals by adding more lines to connect the lines that already exist. Make the edges of the petals more varied by adding small dots and curves. Also add more veins to the leaves by drawing curved lines from the main vein to the edge.
5.
You can color with colored pencils, paints or felt-tip pens, or you can simply add shadows and pen shadows with a simple pencil. The shadows should be where the leaves and petals curve.
