Roses in Tall Vase Coloring Page

Fully opened roses cluster near the top of a narrow vase, their petals arranged in concentric spiral rings that build outward from tight central coils in this coloring page. Each bloom displays slightly different petal arrangements, giving the bouquet a natural, unposed quality. Large, pointed leaves arch away from the main stems on both sides, their surfaces divided by a single central vein running tip to base. The rose petals shade beautifully using a single hue in three values - try deep burgundy at the petal bases fading to soft blush at the outer edges. Use two or three distinct greens for the leaves to separate them visually, since several overlap near the vase mouth. The tall vase itself is a good place to try a pattern or gradient wash in this printable, giving the design a grounded still-life feel.
