Open Water Lily Coloring Page

A fully bloomed water lily dominates the center, its pointed petals extending in multiple layers from a densely packed stamen core on this coloring sheet. Three lily pads float at different positions around the flower, each displaying distinct radial veining that runs from center to rim, with characteristic V-shaped notches cut into their circular edges. Wavy horizontal lines throughout the background represent water ripples, creating movement and depth across the pond scene. The stamen center needs careful attention with yellows or oranges to contrast against white or pink petal choices. Try blending multiple green tones on each lily pad, following the radiating veins from dark at the center to lighter at the edges for natural dimension. Light blue or gray washes on the water lines create realistic reflections without overwhelming the main botanical elements.
