Sunflower Head Spread Coloring Page

Radiating petals fan out from a wide circular center covered in crosshatch lines that create the textured seed pattern typical of mature sunflowers in this coloring page. The stem stretches vertically with two broad leaves positioned asymmetrically-one angled upward and one pointing downward, each showing prominent vein lines running from base to tip. Fine parallel lines fill the center disc, giving you a structured grid to work within for shading effects. The large center area works beautifully for practicing stippling or using burnt umber and dark browns to create depth in the seed head. Try warm yellows transitioning to orange on the petals, or experiment with non-traditional colors like purple and pink for a modern look. The leaf veins benefit from two-tone green shading-lighter along the central vein and darker at the edges for realistic dimension.
