Peony with Leaves Coloring Page

Ruffled peony petals overlap in concentric circles, creating a dimensional bloom with edges that curve and fold naturalistically in this detailed coloring design. The center reveals a cluster of stamens surrounded by smaller inner petals, while two compound leaves below display five to seven distinct lobes each with pronounced central veins branching into smaller tributaries. The stem connects these elements with a smooth, tapering form that grounds the vertical composition. Layer different pink tones from pale blush to deep magenta across the petal rows to build realistic depth in the flower head. The leaf lobes provide excellent practice for shading techniques-try using darker greens along the vein lines and lighter tones on the broader sections between them. Colored pencil blending works particularly well for the soft petal transitions, while the stamens could contrast sharply with yellow or gold hues against cooler petal colors.
