The waterlily drawing depicts a waterlily and its leaves gracefully floating on the surface of the water. Beneath the water’s surface, their long stems extend from the bottom of the lake. The flowers sway gently as if yearning to swim and freely roam the expanse of the lake. However, their desires are restrained by their long stems, which act as anchors for these exquisite botanical vessels.
The water lily illustration holds great popularity, with the most renowned specimens having thrived in the garden of the French impressionist, Claude Monet. This talented painter captured the essence of these flowers in a series of monumental paintings, skilfully transferring entire stretches of ponds adorned with these plants onto his canvases.
Contrary to the water lilies found in cultivated gardens, the water lily depicted in this drawing flourishes in the natural garden of a Scandinavian lake. Specifically, it embellishes the deep, crystalline waters of a lake near my village. In this serene setting, two lakes exist, with the dominant one being Sommen, commanding attention from every angle. However, there is a second, more tranquil lake named Axsjö, where water lilies bloom undisturbed by the clamour of passing boats. Their blossoms sway gently upon the surface of the water, creating a serene and captivating sight like an artwork of waterlily art , which I caught in waterlily drawing easy done with pen and ink, as a kind of pen art. But even easy water lily drawing is a challenge. Nature is so complex and variable, in all its manifestations – like in a waterlily flower.
Waterlily picture is often associated with tranquility. Personally, I find great pleasure in sitting on the edge of the lake, observing these exquisite flowers. Their gentle swaying, synchronised with the rhythmic movements of the water, has a remarkable effect on my emotions, inducing a state of blissful reverie. It is as if the water lilies are whispering their wisdom to me, urging me to take notice and embrace the beauty they offer.
