Open Petals and Pads Coloring Page

Three distinct lotus blooms anchor this aquatic scene, each showing different petal configurations-from tightly clustered centers to fully opened layers in this coloring page. Circular lily pads with characteristic V-shaped notches create horizontal platforms between the vertical flowers. A mature seed pod features pocked surfaces with round depressions, adding botanical accuracy to this water garden composition. The graduated petal layers need different saturation levels to show dimension-deeper pinks or yellows at the base fading to pale tints at the edges. Each lily pad might use different green mixtures, from blue-green to yellow-green, while the seed pod's textured surface benefits from brown or tan shading in each circular depression. The stamens clustered in each flower center provide small spots where bright gold or orange pencil work creates focal points.
