Bismarck Palm Colouring Page

A bold Bismarck palm spreads a huge crown of stiff, nearly round fan leaves across a dry Madagascar landscape. A long flower cluster and a bunch of oval fruits appear below the leaves, and a small bee circles the blossoms. This palm is famous for silvery blue-green foliage, so try pale blue, silver-grey, sage and green on different fans. Colour the sturdy trunk grey-brown, the flowers cream or light yellow and the fruits brown to dark purple. Add soft gold to the dry grass and a pale blue sky, keeping the distant plants simple. Broad strokes suit the giant leaves, while a sharp pencil helps with their many pointed segments and tiny flowers.
