Lotus Flower on Water Coloring Page

Layered petals build outward from the lotus center in overlapping rows, each petal showing gentle curves and pointed tips in this coloring page. Three round lily pads anchor the corners of the scene, their smooth circular forms creating visual balance against the bloom's complexity. Radiating ripples extend across the water, forming concentric circles that intersect and overlap where they meet. The open petal sections need gradual shading from base to tip to show their dimensional curves. Water ripples could use alternating light and dark blue bands to create depth, while the lily pads might feature forest green centers fading to yellow-green edges. Try soft pinks or creamy whites for the lotus bloom to contrast with deeper tones in the surrounding water.
