Tulip Stem and Leaves Coloring Page

A single tulip bud stands upright, its petals wrapped tightly in a spiral pattern that creates distinct overlapping segments around the bloom's core on this coloring sheet. Lance-shaped leaves extend from opposite points along the smooth stem, each one bending gently outward with fine vein lines traveling from base to pointed tip. Individual petal sections show clear boundary lines, giving you separate areas to shade differently. Gradient blending works beautifully on the closed bud-start with deeper tones along the outer petal edges and fade to lighter values where the petals fold inward. Warm pinks or reds on the bloom paired with cool blue-greens on the foliage create strong contrast, or go with purple tulip shades and yellow-green leaves for a classic spring look. Add gentle shading along one side of the cylindrical stem to give it roundness against the flatter leaf forms.
