Magnolia Blossom and Leaves Coloring Page

Six teardrop-shaped petals unfurl around a central bloom, each one marked with parallel veins that run lengthwise from the flower's core to the pointed tips in this coloring design. Two oblong leaves angle outward from the stem below, their surfaces mapped with branching vein networks that create natural sectioning within each leaf shape. The stem itself transitions from thick at the base to narrower where it meets the flower head, with visible texture lines suggesting bark-like surface detail. The petal veining creates natural guidelines for blending light to dark tones within each section-try starting with pale creams or soft yellows at the edges and deepening toward the center with apricot or rose hues. Those broad leaves need varied greens to show dimension: perhaps forest green along the veins with lighter sage or lime between them. Shading the stem with browns or grays will ground the entire botanical illustration and make the flower appear to lift forward from the page.
