"Hello there I'm Ralph Papa from papagallery.com, and today we are learning how to draw. In this clip I am going to show you how to draw a Hawaiian flower. And when the subject of Hawaiian flower come up there is probably a thousands of varieties of them. A typical Hawaiian flower might look something like this. And I will just start drawing the center of it like this with millions of little buds like that, and then just some beautiful broad leaves that come out of that that might be very soft, some would be pink, some would be red. And we can even just draw a little more like this. And we can give it some texture in the center like that. Shade it, and that would be like a typical Hawaiian flower that you can use in leis, and you can use it in you hair. And they are really nice and beautiful, and colorful, and exotic. Just wonderful to see. And there's probably a million varieties of them. There we have the typical Hawaiian flower. But the one we think of most when we think of Hawaii is the Hawaiian lei, which is a range in like a wreath that Hawaiian dancers normally you see them on. And I am just going to draw a figure here of a woman you know that might be a Hawaiian dancer. And she would have these beautiful flowers all arranged in all of that she would be wearing around her neck. And sometimes she would even have these flowers in her hair, off to one side, and it would serve like that. So basically they could be almost any variety of flower that is tropical. Arranged into that wreath where we would give them the term Hawaiian flowers. This has been Ralph Papa, and thank you for watching."
