Lotus Flower Spread Coloring Page

Three lotus blooms at different stages fill the frame, with two fully opened flowers showing multiple layers of rounded petals radiating from their centers in this detailed coloring design. Broad circular lily pads with defined vein patterns spread beneath and around the flowers, creating contrast between the vertical blossoms and horizontal leaves. The closed bud on the right has tightly wrapped petals forming an elongated teardrop shape, while the water's surface is indicated by simple horizontal lines at the bottom. The layered petals need gradual shading from pale centers to darker outer edges using pink, coral, or cream tones. Try blending yellows and soft oranges for the central seed pods where stamens would naturally cluster. The lily pad veins create natural guides for practicing radial shading patterns, starting light near the center and deepening toward the leaf margins with forest greens or blue-greens.
